I do find this whole thing slightly baffling to be honest. I could sort of understand if the existing laws prohibited people going into bathrooms that did not match their gender at birth and there was a movement to overturn those laws, that some people wuold find that unsettling and oppose the loosening of restrictions. What I cannot get my head around is why anybody would seek to impose new restrictions - has there been a flurry of incidents in which either trans gender people caused trouble by going into the 'wrong' bathroom, or in which non-transgender people went into the other gender's bathroom to peep or abuse under the cover of a pretended transgender status?
It seems to be legislation for no real reason other than that, with the growth of transgender identities in the mainstream, some people feel icky at the thought.
