Great analysis from Seth Dillion
"This is not a difficult challenge. Here are my replies:
1. It's a man's maleness that makes it inappropriate for him to enter a women's restroom or lockerroom, not his appearance. A man who looks like a woman is still a man.
2. If the standard is appearance, most men who identify as women would fail the test. They typically look like ridiculous caricatures of women.
3. It's not a matter of letting them "be who they are" because they are not actually women. A woman is not "any person who wears a dress and puts on lipstick." A woman is an adult human female. If you are not female, you are not a woman.
4. If it's important to make people "feel more comfortable," then why should the comfort of a few be considered over the comfort of many? There are far more women who are uncomfortable with men entering their private spaces than there are dysphoric men who are frustrated by the denial of access.
5. The final point about how women should pee in the woods if they're uncomfortable contradicts the previous sentence. This is blatant lopsided concern for the comfort of the few at the expense of the many.
6. Reality is uncomfortable for people who dislike reality. But for the sake of sanity and safety, we should choose to live in reality, anyway. Truth matters more than anyone's comfort."
