She can walk out to where you are and show you. This has never been an issue.
No, it's inconvenient, she has to walk out leave her stuff unattended, put her shoes on, worry about the door not closing on her, one of those automatic locks, etc..
It's more convenient for us if I can go directly into the changing room, since I have that privilege as a non-binary male, why not use it, the same way a cisgender female would do? Why should i have to go along with policies designed for cisgender men?
Maybe we've grown up with different sizes when it comes to changing rooms, but the ones I grew up with are about as big as a bathroom stall. If the door has an automatic lock on it then her items are safe.
She could leave her purse & shoes with you if those are worries she has about the security of her things.
I could really care less what a man or a woman identifies AS. I care about what they are or what they are perceived to be.
If someone perceives you as being male, then you will be regarded as a male and treated accordingly.
Like it or not, there are male and female safe spaces in which people of one gender only expect to see people of their same gender in that space.
Locker rooms where people are changing clothes are spaces generally divided by gender.
Until people get over their own hangups about being naked in front of strangers, (which will be a long fucking time), we'll continue to have these issues about spaces dedicated to certain genders.
Just because a man cries while watching a romantic movie doesn't mean he's a woman. It means he has emotions and empathy and that makes him human.
Consider the changing room as a top secret area that you don't have clearance for. How bout that ?
