What's the worry, that's some pervert will pretend to be a transgender and assault little girls in the washroom?

That is exactly what I worry about, and not a pretend transgender either.

But does this actually happen in real life? Studies repeatedly show there is no increase in sexual assaults in places with trans--inclusive policies. This is why many women's advocacy group including anti-sexual assault and domestic violence organizations support trans-inclusive policies. Why don't we listen to them instead of our phantom fears?

Ok, how about someone with a penis in a women's washroom changing in front of young (or any) women. You don't think that's offensive? My wife and our daughter-in-laws would definitely be offended, as I'm sure many women would be.

Yes of course it would be, but I don't think this is something that happens or is likely to happen under trans-inclusive policies. The vast majority of women don't change in front of each other and trans women would be no different. So you're really talking about a cisgender male using trans-inclusive policies as an excuse to pretend to be trans and going to a bathroom and expose themselves. Extremely unlikely I think and I know of no such occurrences. Or maybe I misunderstood your post.

I'm sure they're cool seeing a giant circumcised clitoris flopping around as long as she's wearing eyeshadow and lipstick

I guess I'm just old school on this issue. I don't agree with anyone with a penis being in a women's change room where there are other women showering and changing. Lose the penis, and I'm good with transgenders in women's washrooms.

Saw an Irish comedian suggesting that Irish Americans are pretty much the same thing as transexuals.
