That may seem reasonable to you and me, but we're not transgender.


(If I'm mistaken in your case, please do correct me.) The thing is, I imagine one of the goals of a transgender person is to be accepted as the gender they believe themselves to be, rather than some "other" kind of thing. So how does it make them feel to have an "other" restroom that, merely by walking into it, identifies them to anyone in sight as something they don't want to be known as? This is a very complicated issue, and I'm very conflicted about the whole locker room aspect of it (not so much the bathrooms - they have stalls). But I do want to try to empathize with these folks.
