That's because Trans has not been legally allowed to enter female bathrooms for a long time enough to measure this.
I am not accusing Trans of assaulting women. I am accusing men who pretend to be Trans of assaulting women. How can you know if the male is a REAL transgender or not?
Perhaps not legally, but I know 60 and 70 year old transgender women who transitioned in their 20's. Not to mention my generation and my parents generation of transgender women. I have been a member of the transgender community for a decade now and I can assure you that transgender women have been using women's restrooms for a long time.

Since all it takes is an effeminate male who loves dressing up as a woman? How do we know if they are trans or not? They are not guarding woman's safety at all. As I said, all you care about is transgender safety and not woman's safety at all.
You have quite an imagination. Not that this is impossible, but there is no record of this ever happening, at least in the U.S. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that most effeminate males would much rather peek under the stalls in "the little boys" bathroom anyway.
quote:
I even know there are males who are married TO women, have children, but goes out dressed as a woman with his wife all the time. But kept all his manly parts intact. Just cross dressed.
This is a fact, I actually personally know 3 of them. My experience with these men is that they have a healthy respect for and are in support of both women and the transgender community. Lets look at the unique combination of circumstances that would compel a heterosexual male who likes to cross dress to use this law to commit a crime. As we said before he would have to be both heterosexual and be comfortable dressing up in women's clothing........already a rare combination. This person would also have to be a scopophiliac or someone who derives sexual pleasure from being a "peeping tom". Next, this person would have to be passable as a woman enough to enter a women's restroom without alarming anyone and have the gall to actually commit this act and risk being caught and humiliated.. This demographic is getting smaller and smaller and I can continue but I'm going to move on.

Transgenders are always very tall. And most of the time, it's very obvious they are not natural females. I doubt I have been in a female toilet where I have not identified someone as trans. Their features are always obvious. It's very seldom that a regular trans on the street actually doesn't look like a man dress in drag. Over here we have mostly Thai transgender who we have sympathy for, because, majority of them were forced to be Trans from babies by their parents to work in the flesh trade and not by choice. Which is why, I am suggesting LGBT toilets solution instead of giving them no toilets.
You give yourself far too much credit my friend. I am a transgender woman, I know hundreds of other transgender women personally, and I cannot even read some transgender women......yes they are just that passable. The ones that you identify in public are the ones who are not passable enough to actually be unidentifiable. All transgender women are also not tall. I am tall 5'10, but my mother is 5'9 and my father much taller. The shortest transgender woman that I know personally is 5'2(yes she is a fully grown adult).
quote:
But you don't care about woman's comfort and safety. There will be many women out there like myself who is not comfortable with a cross dressing male inside a female toilet. I will feel unsafe.
Especially with camera phones available these days. Any man can cross dress into a female and bring a phone in and film for his own pleasure. Assault on women doesn't have to be physical.
I think that in general most people care about everyone else's safety. As a transgender woman, I certainly care about biological women's safety. However, I know that I pose no threat to the safety of biological women, transgender women have been using women's restrooms for decades with no incidence, and everything that you are saying to argue your point is based on what you think "could" happen and you obviously don't really know anything about the transgender community. The question is...."do you care about my safety?" It would obviously be very dangerous for myself or someone like myself to have to use men's restrooms. Are you willing to deal with a little discomfort and perhaps even overcome your irrational fear for the safety of other's?
