BTW, since you assert this as fact do you have any evidence to back it up. It is such a tiny subset of society. I can't imagine there is solid data.
However, since you misunderstood my point and made this assertion. Is it pure belief based (you want it to be true so you assume it is and assert it as fact) or data driven?
http://www.ovc.gov/pubs/forge/sexual_ch_e.htmlThe vast majority of transgender sexual assault survivors who responded to FORGE's 2005 survey were first assaulted as children or youth.
And we know there is a strong link between adult abusers being abused as children and repeating the cycle.
Is that also true for transgender?
BTW, it is irrelevant for my objections to allowing biological males to shower with females of any age, but particularly girls in grade school and middle school. Could not a male that self-identifies as female, but is sexually attracted to women, be the middle school girls gym teacher in your world responsible for supervising the girls in the locker room? You as a father may be OK with that, but I see nothing wrong with other mothers and fathers that would strongly object.
Hey, I dressed as a woman once in 5th grade. Is that enough that I can use either locker room? Granted it was a Halloween costume, but is that enough? What standard will apply? Good faith?
