Should transgenders be allowed to use public washrooms of the gender they identify as?

Why or why not?
Explain your reasoning.

OK. This is Ben Melzer. People might recognize him. He was the first trans male on the cover of Men's Health.

Visualize this person, and persons like him, going into the women's room to take a piss.

So yes. Go piss where ever it minimizes drama.

@Celine He is FTM. Do you think he should be in the women's restroom?
@Celine I dunno. I think this trans-guy is "passing" as a guy. LOL.

The issue of "passing" is what actually bothers me.

This becomes less an issue of trans-gendered people using restrooms and more a policing of who is passable and not. And now you're going to have people calling out "masculine" women, "feminine" men, intersexed people. General shenanigans.

@CopperCicada agreed. They have already had issues with that. Shall we pay people to inspect genitals before we allow people to pee?
