And, you and other fearful men would be comfortable with a person that in all outward appearances was a woman, walking in and peeing in the urinal next to you? Because that would be the only way you would know what "parts" they have.

Fearful?
I prefer logical and pragmatic.

Do you include the prpbability of odds in your pragmatism in this subject? Cause it seems very unlikely that a wpuld be rapist wpuld go through all the trouble, again sighting thatvtheres easier alternatives like simple abduction.

Inspite of what people are saying, my big worry is that a "safe" place for our children to have a pee is been removed all becouse of PC. All I want is a safe place for kids to have a pee without some pervert hidding behind this transgender BS been in the same place taking his dick out hoping for a BJ. For all the snowflakes out there I did say dick

The whole toilet based on how you identify at any given time only effects women. guys dont care all that much. guys dont really care if other women use the toilets (go to any nightclub and you will see plenty of women using mens restrooms when their line goes on forever..and men dont care at all).
So...whats the solution then?

Alarmist nonsense. Do you really think that restrooms are less safe now? They're no different than they've ever been.
If you want to stop perverts from preying on people in restrooms, you strengthen the existing penalties for those crimes, not penalize third parties that have done nothing wrong. Further, you claim that you fear for the safety of your kids. If it's that important to you, why aren't you getting up off your ass and escorting them in? You want to be lazy, but hold 3rd parties responsible if something goes wrong. Take responsibility for your own damn kids.

We have failed as a free society when we can't even recognize individual freedoms for people we don't agree with.

So then tell me oh great and wise one, why did we long ago segregate restrooms by sex?

You can't call it a free society if such base level things as free speech don't exist.
America is the last place on earth that still has this.

We hardly have free speech any more either.

Did I say men should be allowed to enter the ladies room?
No, MEN should not be allowed in the ladies room. Transgender people that are legally recognized in their new gender, however, do not fall into that category. I don't care what resides between the legs of someone in the locked adjoining stall if they're just there to pee.
What I object to is men who think that by virtue of having a wife or daughter, they're entitled to restrict ladies restroom access to anyone who doesn't look feminine enough. We've already seen cases of men chasing women out of restrooms based on looks. Police dragging women out of restrooms because they didn't look enough like women. Where do you draw the line? You want to pass new laws keeping transgender people out of restrooms. Let me ask you, how will you identify those transgender people? Will you arrange for your daughter to carry her birth certificate around with her? Kids are kids, and it's only a matter of time before she loses it, and sensitive ID information is lost. ID theft run rampant. No thank you. If you're not going to rely on birth certificates, what do you use to "verify" sex? Should we have security guards at every restroom, feeling up entrants via manual verification? Think TSA on crack and you'll realize the horror of such a system. Your solution there is worse than random perverts. It becomes the problem rather than the solution. No thanks.
I don't need any man gating access to the ladies room. It's not your space to regulate. If you want to restrict access to a space, feel free to set up a toll booth at the mens room and report on how receptive the public is to your ID demands. Maybe you can hang out at the urinals and "peek." Perhaps you can require that entrants fart the theme song from MacGuyver. I don't care, just keep it in YOUR space.
