If we are going to force them to use the male restroom, that makes it difficult, no? So while not every trans person is going to undergo the surgery for reassignment, if we follow the thinking of using the restroom that matches your "equipment" then we create an impossible situation.

Just one reason why it is an issue.

Me, personally, I wouldn't care if every bathroom were unisex. But that's just me.

I don't see a requirement to use the facility that matches your body parts as making a transistion more difficult. However, let's say it is. Does that mean the 99.5% of the population must conform to that .5%? Or should the .5% conform to the 99.5% until the proceedure is complete.

I'd also be curious to know how many school kids go through Gender reassignment surgery.
