I have a trans boy in my Facebook friends that I met while volunteering at the hospital while he still identified as a girl and I'm not going to go out of my way to point out that he was born a girl and still has all the male parts, but his sex is still female.


Until recently, throughout history, bathrooms and locker rooms were used to separate men and women based on sex.  Most women are uncomfortable undressing or being naked around men and a lot of men are uncomfortable undressing or being naked around women.  

That had nothing to do with labels.  A person's sex is not in the mind.  A person who has had gender reassignment surgery is 17 more likely to commit suicide based on the study cited in this exchange around a 1:40 and the normal suicide rate is 4% and the transgender suicide rate is 40% (at 4:19 here) and, according to transgender people, it virtually no difference if people recognize them as transgender (3:50 in the last link).

Im no anthropologist, but i think our discomfort of being naked and our inability to casually view the opposite sex and think of certain parts of the body as taboo is very much a social construct. 

Our culture is exceedingly uncomfortable about this stuff.
