Are you just going to take his/her word on that?
Just because they claim to be TG, that is good enough?
Something seems off.
If the individual behaved in ways that made my daughter feel uncomfortable, I trust that she would take steps to protect herself, including reporting the individual to the authorities. But the same would be true if the individual were a cis-female.
You seem to think TG-protection laws empower lascivious straight men to hang out in women’s restrooms and dressing rooms, secure in the knowledge that they can rebut any attempt to remove and/or prosecute them by simply claiming to be TG. Such is not the case.

Right, perverts have been exercising their perversions since time began and trans people have already infiltrated the other side’s space, just without official permission.
I’m not sure what my dander is up about, UtahLama - I think it’s a non-issue. As EyeDentist points out, creepy is creepy and I and my daughter know it when we see it. My daughter, who shared this on her FB page just today (personally I don’t worry about her getting shot, because that doesn’t happen in our demographic much):

His lack of concern is legit in the manner stated. The thing is, no one is concerned with that for the same reasons. Its a statement of a non issue.
So if wierdos doing their thing as wolves in sheep’s clothing is just a figment of my imagination, consider my fears assuaged.
I’m more than willing not to tolerate the intolerable, but I really and truly do not see what this has to do with me. Straight men and gay women have desired me sexually since my teens (that I know of). For the most part, they have done so respectfully. Where they have not been respectful I have not been tolerant. I’m not sure what would motivate me to change my attitude of disinterest in the thoughts and desires of others who are unconnected to me and mine.
I have also had exposure to trans or gender-questioning people through work, and they have all wanted what I want and what you want; namely to be liked by someone they can like in return.
I suppose because I wonder what it has to do with YOU. Why is it so threatening? If people want to keep dogs, horses, and kittens at their houses and on their land, but I don’t like or believe in them, well, so what?
Yes, but given that there are and have been both gay and straight people out there lusting away, we are already not in control of that. I would say that maybe men need to go to stalls, as women have, and let the matter rest. Privacy for all.
Yep. The moment someone needs to use the word “hate” to buttress their argument they lose all credibility.

Cost, too.
And why, exactly?

So everyone can have as much freedom from others disrobing - and to disrobe themselves - as they need or want. Then no one need worry about it. The beach bathroom changers are not, from my perspective as someone who prefers more privacy, not losing a freedom of great importance. Now the less-gender-indifferent of them can do as I have been doing all along and go into the stall to change. The ones who don’t care are not impacted. No big deal.
I encounter dogs all the time, though I don’t have one. I have a cat, and regrettably she’s an asshole. People might reasonably wonder at my choice to live with her. But I don’t really care if they do.
Eh, he doesn’t speak for me (to many political straw men in that post), just an indicator of where my young adult daughter stands on the matter. She is in the age range most likely to be sexually assaulted or otherwise victimized.
