It is only a problem when one has a society has a certain expectation of privacy. If no one cares whether or not men are in the women’s bathroom, or vice versa, then I suppose the point it moot.
But when one uses a bathroom with stall doors that don’t properly close, then it is a problem - and that happens a LOT. Compound the problem adding in children, and then you can see why the expectation of privacy is difficult, especially when you are the person in charge of someone else’s safety.
Case in point: I have a nine-year-old son, and he’s big for his age. Back in the day, my parents would let us go to public restrooms by ourselves, with the idea that no one would bother us in the bathrooms, because people would respect our privacy. But I have never let either of my children go to multi-stall public restrooms by themselves, because of recent notorious cases where children have been assaulted in public restrooms, and the proliferation of cell phone cameras being used to peep at people.
I used to take him with me into the ladies room, but he’s so big now, I only take him to the men’s room when it’s single stall and I can check it first to make sure there’s no one in there - then I stand by the door and guard it. Call me paranoid, but I have no intention of leaving my child in a room full of strangers. I have an obligation to protect him.

But then again, if certain groups have their way, no one will be able to say that anyone except “protected classes” have any protection under the law, not even children.
I assume that is what these groups are trying to do - to say that women and men, and even children are undefineable, and that have no reasonable expectation of protection or privacy under the law. However, a man who dresses like a woman shall receive full rights as a protected class.
Let’s see if we have this straight. As a woman, I am not to have any legal definition, nor am I to expect any protection under the law, nor any expectation of privacy even in the bathroom. But if I were a man dressed like a woman, I could be legally defined as a woman and be considered a protected class.
I also find it ironic that I - as a natural-born woman - have to fully pay for any cosmetic surgery I want - but if I were a man who wanted to look like a woman, I have it all fully funded by the taxpayers in many municipalities. No “free” cosmetic surgery for natural-born women - but all paid in full if you are a man who wants to say he is a woman...
So where are the feminists here? Where are they, protesting for the rights of women? Oh, silly me. They don’t really care about women - they care only about destroying women, or any men who truly care for women. Marriage, family, home - all the original societal and religious structures put in place to protect women - must be obliterated in favor of the worker bee who never reproduces. Men who cared for women must be re-educated, and women who believed men were important must be dismissed. Of course, ANYONE who believes children are a blessing must be punished, and those children must be destroyed in utero.
But a man dressed like a woman is a “protected class”?

Thank God at least one judge sees the hypocrisy of it all.
