Obviously genital checks cannot be a thing. However, well intentioned trans women should use the men's bathroom. And many trans people advocate against self ID. Why? Because if you say that men are dangerous to trans women (which... severe lack of evidence on that in re: bathroom use, there is no murder epidemic either, and when trans women are killed it's usually by a long time sexual partner so not gay panic) and then you allow self ID, all you're doing is giving bad men ANOTHER place to prey on trans women - and now allowing them to do so to women and girls, also.

Women are not meat shields. Trans activists can campaign for third bathrooms if they want.

So they should use the men's room, there's no evidence they'd be in any danger because it's long-time partners who kill them, and if they use the women's they prey on women and girls. Got that.

I really like the idea of no censorship, no downvote button and a huge influx of refugees from weird reddit echo-chambers!

A lot of the places people would use shared bathrooms regularly are work or school, where the employer or school would know the person's sex without needing to "check".
