Lorileah, I don't want CDs getting arrested for using the women's room. Even HB2, which is a vile vile thing, leaves it as a non-convictable offense with no punishment on its own. Other safety issues involve things that are already crimes. I don't want people having to show ID to enter bathrooms.
There's a legal standard for recognition of gender, however, and it's what needs to be used consistently when resolving disputes over gendered spaces. When a situation arises, and you're in the ladies room as currently defined, then guess what? If you're legally a woman, you're in the legal right. If you're not, well, you're not.
I just don't want to go down the rather slippery slope of conferring people who do not even identify as women partial legal recognition as women. I want to resolve the issues that make non-binary people feel like they need that, chiefly removing gender as a factor when it's unnecessary.
