Dressing in drag is not claiming to be transgender. And on the first one, was the person actually presenting as a woman, or just claiming to be so after the fact? I ask because even if someone is a transwoman, if they walk into a women's restroom they will raise red flags if they are not presenting as a woman. And, since trans people live their lives as the gender with which they identify a guy walking into the women's restroom with a beard and a flat chest (well, maybe they have moobs) should set off red flags, and I would support anyone that would question them on it. But this all takes an understanding of what trans is, and as I've said before a lot of the issues raised are being raised from a position of ignorance.
And the last one has nothing at all to do with transgender bathroom issues. So I;m not sure why that was there.
Dressing like a woman is exactly what someone would do if they were a predator to get themselves into the bathroom and not raise any red flags.
Using cameras in the bathroom is creepy.
The Seattle guy was just utilizing his opportunity to use the restroom since Seattle opened the flood gates and allowed men in there ...
Pretending to be a woman to get into a battered women's shelter to gain access to easy targets is the type of people we are allowing to use this situation for nefarious purposes.
Find a way to define gender that's concrete.
