My only concern is children. I wouldn't want my 10 year old daughter looking at some guys junk at the ymca.
You know that a huge number of laws and standing policy's are because of "feels." We created the god damned TSA completely out of fear. If we want to be completely rational about this, there is not real reason to have segregated bathooms at all. A lot of these perverted sickos get a good part of their thrill because they know they're doing something wrong. If there's nothing wrong about what they're doing, it gets a lot less fun. And besides that, when has "criminals are going to break the law" every been a good reason to not have a law? The same reasoning can be used to address anything from laws about theft of personal property, to assault, to good old fashioned murder. Criminals, by definition are not going to respect your rules.
At the end of the day, this just sounds like a jackass trying to make a point in the most juvenile way possible.
Well, the article states that he didn't identify. If taken at face value, then we don't know if that would have been satisfactory. It could be that he has a history with that staff, though. I mean, speculatively I lean toward the assumption that he was just being a shit-disturber. But objectively, I haven't the slightest clue. This is a terribly nebulous subject matter for me.

Speaking as a women im not entirely sure what they were expecting. When you base policy around feelings rather then logic things go to hell. Just look at Sweden
Lets face it there was only one group that this law was made for: M2F trans pre-gender reassignment who otherwise would have gotten the shit kicked out of them in some parts of the country.
It wasn't for those who have already gone under gender reassignment, which no one would have been none the wise anyhow. And I have never heard of F2M trans pre-gender reassignment being in danger still using the women restroom /changing room.
And don't hold up a picture of a dude in a cowboy complete with beard and say technically he should be using the woman's restroom because he was born a woman. That's BS, no one's gonna bat an eye if he uses the men's room.
Where the water really get muddy here is the trans community is very open, and I suppose quite rightly, to those who don't want to undergo gender reassignment. And as cruel as it might sound this ends up with people who really don't look like a woman, just a dude in a frock. This leaves it wide open to abuse.

A female who identifies as a female could dress and act like a male.

The thing is, he's right in giving that message. He can pretty much just waltz in saying little more then "you can't stop me, it's the law!". Because this flimsy law could be used to what ever effects people want.
Some of us saw the writing on the wall.
I have no interest in convincing others of said writing. Now I sit back and see if and how bad it gets.
This is a reminder that its a good time to get some popcorn before the show starts.
I'm just waiting for the day when transsexuals get to fight in woman boxing and all that jazz. It's basically a dickless male punching women.
