If a man enters a women's restroom you ca...Yes! If a man enters a women's restroom you can't even accuse him of not being a transgender. He will realize you think he is not a trangender because he doesn't ~look~ so. But a so-called transgender doesn't need to be taking hormones or to be operated (to have had "sex reassignment" surgery) to be a transgender, they say, and of course you generally can't even say if they have had surgery or not. Transgenders also don't need to have had any feminization surgery (like reshaping facial bones, having breast implants etc) to be considered a transgender (even children can be considered transgender). Because they say transgender is a person who sees themself as being the opposite sex. Nowadays you can't say the man entering the women's restroom isn't a woman (a trans women) just because not only he doesn't look like he's taking hormones and he didn't have any surgery but he also doesn't have long hair and/ or dress like a woman tends to dress, because one have the hair lenght and wears the clothes they want. Transgenders don't need to be taking hormones, don't need to have had any surgery, don't need to have long hair, don't need to dress like a woman tends to dress, don't need to use makeup, don't need to act like a woman tends to act. They just need to say they're transgender- if you have the guts to ask so, because if you don't ask, they not even need to say they're transgender. They'll just have the right to use the opposite sex's restroom and that's it. The solution would be unisex restrooms (men and women could use the same restroom, be them "cis" or "trans", heterosexual or not), but I think this is dangerous in our society.
