You are right transgender do feel they are the opposite sex than they are born with. Basically they feel they have the wrong body. Regardless of how right wrong, morals, or if it is a mental issue, the fact remains that dude was hanging his stuff out for anyone to see.
I do not think many women will feel safe, comfortable, or accomodating to a strange naked man in an area where they are supposed to feel safe and secure to undress and redress.
All the rest of it is political PC crap any way. I do not care what they do on their own time in private, but in public we should try to respect others as much as we can. Sure we are not going to make everyone happy but to blatantly ignore others feelings altogether for our own selfish needs is another thing.

Graduates with a master’s degree in psychology can work as industrial-organizational psychologists. When working under the supervision of a doctoral psychologist, master’s graduates also can work as psychological assistants in clinical, counseling, or research settings. Master’s degree programs typically include courses in industrial-organizational psychology, statistics, and research design.

They don't rent the exclusive rights. She is a student at the college and has a legal right under Washington law to use the facilities.
You keep showing how much you do NOT know....first you didn't read the article to see that children of all ages use that rest room, then this statement about psychologists.

I see your point, but I think you've identified the real issue in that we need cultural change. We should not be so insistent on balancing binaries, insisting that there only be two sexes. We also shouldn't be so prudish about our bodies.edit on 11/2/2012 by yadda333 because: (no reason given)
I wish the person who molested me, when I was six years old, had felt prudish about touching my body. Maybe that is why the very thought of a 45 year old male *exposing* himself to young Girls, in a Girl's locker room, turns my stomach.
Maybe that is why, I, as a Mother to a Girl, spent a good portion of her growing years, watching out for predators that may have had an unsavory interest in young Girls.
I don't consider it prudish...I consider it diligence and common sense. JMOHO....

Perhaps pedophilia wouldn't be an issue in a different, more advanced culture that doesn't see sexuality and the human body in the same way as we do right now.
I have no idea how you get to that point, but I do feel fairly confident that humans will continue to evolve culturally.

We do? Why do WE need cultural change?
Why not? Unless like you mentioned somebody is a hermaphrodite (which is pretty rare) There basically are only 2 sexes.
That's your opinion. Why are you saying WE when this is just your own opinion? Others might agree with you but I am sure that not everybody does, so I strongly object to you saying WE. It insinuates you are speaking for me, and you are not.

Your argument is moot. This isn't about homosexuality. You are trying to make it about homosexuality...it isn't!

My first post was about hermaphrodites and that sexuality (etc) is grey for a lot of folks. I think this is all relevant to the discussion because that's what we're dealing with--a grey area.

Transgenderism is not a gray area. It's well known and accepted in our society. You are trying to claim it is a gray area to sneak in your own personal agenda, not having anything to do with the OP.
