[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about locker room and public shower?  If any man claim they are a woman at a given moment, she can enter a locker room for woman in public or private swim pool and gym, be naked with her penis exposed and stare at naked women, teens, and young girls.  Is there any law against a man to watch women or young girls in locker room?[/quote]

If you want to go down that road, then perhaps we need to reconsider the antiquated notion of sex-segregated locker rooms and bathrooms.  Why do we need segregated facilities?  I’ve seen penises before, they’re not inherently scary or offensive to me.  Is it that someone in the locker room could be eyeing me with sexual interest?  A gay or bi woman could do that too.[/quote]

If you bring your 10 years old girl to a swimming pool, will you be comfortable to have her being stared by a man with exposed penis?[/quote]

Why would I be any less concerned about her being stared at by a woman with an exposed vulva?  And should I not be concerned about my 10 yo son being started at by a man with an exposed penis? Perhaps the answer is to get rid of communal locker rooms entirely and just have single user and family changing stalls.  Then the whole issue goes away for everyone, trans people included.[/quote]

Mmmm.....having had that experience as a grown young woman on the Paris Metro, I can tell you that it is very, very creepy.  And, I wouldn't want my ten year old to experience that.  [b]And, I think we all know that it is different.[/b]
However, I don't think that is the real issue, here.  It could be an "unintended consequence" that people "abuse" the privilege, but i am more concerned about its effect on equal rights for women.  I am also very,  very concerned about the troubling use of hormones and surgery on adolescents.

We need to step back a bit on this.  Gender reassignment surgery is forever.  Many 14 year olds go through adjustment processes and it is very easy for an unhappy young person to think that "I can be happy if I were............"[/quote]
Oh really?  How is it different?  Can you explain it without relying on anti-gay stereotypes?[/quote]
