[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So as to what procedure a gym should use to "screen transgendered", my answer would be "sincere self-reporting of gender identity" dictates what bathroom you're allowed to use. [/quote]

Because a pervert or rapist would never lie about his "gender identity" in order to gain access to the women's locker room.

When you provide an actual example of this happening in reality, I will take this concern seriously.

So far, the only argument against transwomen in the women's bathroom/locker room that I'm sympathetic to is the emotional issues that survivors of sexual assault might experience as a result. I am sympathetic to that, but I still don't think that it's a good enough reason to ban transwomen from women's bathrooms/locker rooms.

Also, you still have not answered the question of how a gym should screen people to make sure that they're woman enough to use the women's room. One of the transwomen I know has a driver's license that lists her as female. She uses a female name and female pronouns. She also has the penis she was born with. Which is more convincing proof for you about this person's gender: a legal document issued by the US government, or the physicality she has not yet changed surgically?[/quote]
