This is an issue that is on my mind. How society sees you and how you see yourself may be two different things. And I want to hammer out what it is that we have a right to and what we don't have a right to. It is an issue in America and I guess I am curious what our British friends believe in.

My opinion:
I would argue that you should not have the right to go into the room of the gender you "identify" with. The reason for this is there is no way of knowing if someone is just saying they identify with the opposite gender. I can say I am a Muslim, I am a Christian, or I am an atheist and there is no way short of inventing a mind-reading devise to prove or disprove it. The classic fear is that middle-aged men who are perverts could abuse this right so they can use the bathroom with little girls in it.

But even if you could take people for their word and no one lied does it really fall under "oppression" to only be able to use the bathroom of your biological sex? I wish it were somehow possible to gather up the slave workers of China, the sex slaves of Africa and the Middle-East, and the transgenders of Europe and America into a room and then get the different groups to explain to the other groups the oppression that they face every day. I can only imagine at how incredulous the other groups would be when the transgenders speak about the bathroom thing and how cruel it is.

One man's opinion.
