The absence of a clear and compelling reason to prohibit a trans man or trans woman from using the restroom that matches their identity means we don't prohibit them from doing it, in places that are willing to take steps to avoid discriminating against trans people. - albaby

-----------------

Is the operative word here "willing" in the sense a business or organization has a choice to treat a trans woman as identical to a real woman. e.g. putting up a sign to the effect that we respect trans women here and your young daughter may see a penis if you choose to enter our facilities. I am sure a real sign would be less graphic but you get my point.

A business or organization having the option to observe equivalence makes this issue more palatable than if the power of government is used to coerce equivalence.
