Perverts willing to crossdress in order to gain access to women's toilet facilities likely outnumber genuine transsexuals by an order of magnitude.

Trying to reduce masculinity and femininity to a set of fashion choices strikes me as being a truly terrible idea. Like it or not, that's been a major effect of recent trans advocacy.
1). "Transgender". The correct term is "transgender".
2). I would ALSO like some sources to backup that assertion, please?
I just wanted to talk about a possible Transgender Freaky Friday film how we'd get from there to here?!
Unfortunately any time transgender or gay/lesbian anything is brought up you will have the Big Debate.

And some wonder why there has to be a Gay Pride Parade/Month. You don't get these debates with straight couples or cisgender people.
I got nothing to say here.

Ah, the call for citations: the first refuge of people who don't want to think about the assertions they've already made.

Let's see: Reuters report from June

And that's 'identifying', meaning 'needs to invest no more effort than answering so in response to a query'. Much like the Jedi of Great Britain.

You were really banking on nobody actually reading the article and noticing it has nothing to do with the claim you made, huh?

Not letting strangers with penises anywhere near your half-undressed wife or daughter is called ''being a decent husband and father''.
So you're willing to destroy safe bathrooms for the sake of imaginary rapists. First the push was "Well why don't trans people just use gender neutral bathrooms", now it's "gender neutral bathrooms are a threat to children".

I'm also not seeing you provide a hint of evidence that the UK is the safest place in the world for transgender people, as you so boldly claim. Apparently you see your country as a safe place for the people you also view as a threat to be eliminated from public life.

Finally, as far as the glass houses and throwing stones, the people committing massacres also are afraid of imaginary transgender rapists.

Okay, how many of those 1.6 million people have been arrested for sexual assault in a public restroom? Or are we back to the paranoid fearmongering? "Any one of these innocent-seeming people could be a predator lying in wait" describes the CISgender population, as much as it does the transgender.

So sorry for a bunch of us wanting to know where you get your information. Burden of Proof and all that.

You also made an assumption that any or all of us haven't done any research into the topic either. It's really not that hard to look up either.

The other reason I dislike demands for citations: people don't read and understand.

What did that site claim was the percentage of American adults who assert transsexual status?

Precisely. There is little to no obstacle to a person dressing as the opposite sex and claiming they're trans. And then freely entering bathrooms and changing rooms.

Are you not aware of the plague of people installing spycams in restrooms, using hidden cameras, etc.? I suppose the numbers are small in an absolute sense, but it's been going on for quite a long time, and it's only gotten worse as tech has improved.

So, What? Post a bouncer at every public bathroom door and have them frisk entrants for AV equipment and "incorrect" genitalia?

Do you think being trans makes any crime you commit in a gendered space legal?
