But...they ARE 'other' as they are males who 'feel like' women rather than actual women, and vice versa. So 'othering' is completely right in this case.

But yes, places really should start catering more for everyone. That will take a lot of time and money mind. Which is why I think so many are happy to just chuck men in with women. Who cares what the women think about it, its cheaper and easier and we also get to look 'right on!'

(I speak mainly of transwomen rather than transmen, because there are so many cases of 'transwomen' wailing about wanting to be in the womens. Never hear of transmen wanting into the mens. Seems for some odd reason, the womens is where everyone wants to be. I wonder why that is )

Is this accurate? I would have thought it's more the case that transwomen are more often denied the use of women's facilities (because of the perceived danger of a man being in a womans space) and therefore speak up as a reaction to that happening, whereas transmen often don't face the same denials. I don't know of any transmen who would rather use womens facilities, they use the mens and it just kind of goes unreported and therefore we don't hear about it.
