I'm guessing you replied to an old post.
In response; men have been dressing up like women and going into women's restrooms for decades now. Is there some kind of epidemic of rape in women's rest rooms by sexual predators that I don't know about? What makes you think just because it's now legal for chicks with **** to go into whatever bathroom they feel most comfortable in would bring rapist and pedophiles out of the wood works?
That whole bathroom thing was just the "monster of the week" getting people all worked up over nothing. I just don't buy it.
What kind of bigoted women would be offended by seeing another woman's penis in the locker room?
It is because this is now effectively legal.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/02/17/transgender-rule-washington-state-man-undresses-locker-room/80501904/Seattle Parks and Recreation is facing a first-of-a-kind challenge to gender bathroom rules.
Last week, a man undressed in a women's locker room, citing a new state rule that allows people to choose a bathroom based on gender identity.
Around 5:30 p.m. on Feb. 8, a man wearing board shorts entered the women's locker room at Evans Pool and took of his shirt, according to Seattle Parks and Recreation.
Women alerted staff, who told the man to leave, but he said "the law has changed and I have a right to be here."
If it is about where you "feel" most comfortable. Anyone can go into any locker room at any time they want because how can you ever prove in a court of law that they didn't feel like they were a woman when they were hanging out watching the teenage girls shower?
It's basic economics. Risk versus reward. The reward was always there. The risk has now been effectively eliminated. That will result in a change in behavior. The only question is how much? It won't happen over night, but change over time as people response to the new incentives that now exist. As they build comfort with their new "freedom" to do what would have risked getting beat to hell.
