Biology-based Bathrooms

Any time an ordinance or law comes up that would forbid discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender expression, the opposition now tries to make it all about transgenders -- and their main argument is that men will begin cross dressing in order to get into public women's bathrooms.
We know this is a national strategy because we've seen the same pamphlets and commercials show up in city after city, from Gainesville, Florida to Kalamazoo, Michigan. One famous one showed a shifty-looking man looking vaguely evil as he follows a little girl into a girl's bathroom, presumably to do something evil to them.
