The Toilet Debate - a historical deconstruction

It is funny how the issue of toilets rears its ugly head from time to time, especially when cisgender males are concerned, and especially with reference to transgender women using the ladies. This seems to be something which worries them overwhelmingly, yet it appears to be much less of an issue for cisgender women. Speculating as to the reason for this one could potentially think of;

    * envy, these guys would like to get into the ladies themselves.
    * Carrie Paechter's concept of the masculine gender being policed more strictly (both going in and going out) than the feminine one.
    * The old-fashioned sexist idea that these guys have to be protective of "their" women against people they perceive as men.
