Then why do transGENDER women insist on using female (sex) restrooms? Do we need 52 different gender bathrooms?

You've taken a really simple issue and over complicated it.

Transgenders' problem isn't between their legs. It's between their ears. Cutting off physical body parts won't resolve a mental problem.

I can't answer why transgender woman insist on using female bathrooms. I am not certain that it is as big an issue as many like to make out...I am 58 years old and have been in some public restrooms and as far as I know I have never noticed a transgender man in the men's room. If it is as widespread as many of you seem to think it is that would seem improbable.

What is the issue with transgender woman using the ladies room, by the way? What is it that some of y'all are up to in public restrooms that is so frightening? That is the truly interesting issue. I can't imagine how you would know a person was a transgender man while youre using a public men's restroom. You for sure and certain ain't just in there taking care of the business the thing was designed for...that is an irrefutable fact.

Interestingly your use of the term "female restroom" indicates that you understand gender has nothing to do with sex. A bathroom has no sex (normally, I won't comment on what goes on in a bathroom when someone is identifying other patron's sex in there). A bathroom is either male or female because culturally and societally we expect it to be. Mainly it is the sign on the door. There is nothing inherently biological about a bathroom. Its gender is assigned by societal and cultural traits.
