Also, out of curiosity--if a man is a transvestite and/or a cross-dresser, how likely is he to eventually get beaten up if he uses the men's restrooms on a regular basis?

Any thoughts on this?
I wonder what male legislators imagine goes on in a ladies restroom - specifically what a man in a ladies restroom might see that he's not meant to!
If I'm dressed as a woman then I use the 'ladies'. I go into a stall like everyone else, do what needs doing, wash up, possibly tidy hair / makeup and exit (stage left?, never with pursuing bear). The one and only time on which I attempted to use the 'gents' while wearing a dress, the 6' 4" linebacker attendant redirected me to the 'ladies'!

Interesting anecdote - make of it what you will... A couple of weeks ago I was driving up to Milton Keynes and needed to 'go'. So i pulled in at the Motorway services and headed for the 'ladies'. As I walked into the 'ladies' a youngish woman (30s?) was coming out. We were close enough that she must have known that I was a cross dresser, she couldn't possibly have been fooled. She met my glance and smiled, broadly. And went on her way. No drama.
