They will always be male, yes.
I don't believe anyone can ever chan ge sex and science certainly does not support that
However, I have a lot more sympathy for someone who is transsexual and actually suffers sex dysphoria than the 'new brand' of trans people...
Personally I would have no issue with someone post-op in female changing rooms and stuff.. But, then you have the issue of saying people are only 'welcome' if they go through dangerous surgeries.
Prisons though...I really do not know. I have thought about this a lot, especially since finding out that we do currently have violent male rapists in with the female population, and generally, the only 'fair/safe' way of doing it (I think I have said this on another thread too before) is to have trans prisoners on their own wing. As its unsafe to put males with females (else, why segregate by sex in the first place?) but its also dangerous for the trans prisoners being in with other males. Having said that, gay men are also fairly at risk in prison..maybe they should also have their own wing :S
Honestly, I don't see why there is all the push for obvious male people to be in female areas at all. I think the only people who will benefit from this are voyeurs and perverts as 'genuine transsexuals' have been using spaces of their preferred sex for years already and most women would not have an issue with a transwoman in their loos or whatever. An obvious male though...is a problem and I think its really wrong to call those who say this, bigots. Or to punch them.
