Tell me how comfortable you are escorting your young son to a public
mens room and there is a half naked lady who claims to be a trans man washing up at the sink?
Ummmm...what do you think happens in mens' rooms? No one's "half naked" at the sink. If there's a trans man washing at the sink, he's going to look like any other man washing up at the sink. Chances are overwhelming that neither my son or I would notice. Since I live in a major metropolitan area with a sizable LGBTQ population, I'm sure it's already happened more than once, and we were both unawares.
Of course, if we forced trans women to use the men's room - and there's someone at the sink wearing a dress and heels and make-up who looks no different than any other woman - my son would have lots of questions. Far more questions than if there were trans men there.
