If I was in a locker room with a bunch of naked chicks and then a penis walked past, I might have some questions. (: But i'm totally not against it. You are who you are inside. And it's not like everyone is in the locker room/washroom checking people out, it's just the nakedness out of the blue in a female only area that would surprise me. But if I saw a "manly" looking woman walk into the bathroom with me it's not like I would stop them.

I knew someone who was post-op transgender female. The students weren't comfortable with her using the bathrooms or locker rooms so she had to use the bathroom in the nurses office to change for gym and to use the bathroom. I remember we both stopped to use a public restroom once. It was kinda weird but I shrugged it off.

It depends as long as they aren't video taping me i'm fine. I have a female friend who dresses like a boy and uses the female bathroom. She tapes her breasts to hide them and gets very embarrassed when using the female bathroom.
I personally don't understand/support transsexual activities but I don't discriminate against them either.

I wouldn't exactly be comfortable in that situation but unless they were openly staring at my boobs/*** then I'd pretend they weren't there if we were in the locker room changing for P.E or dance or something. as far as any other situtation, I wouldn't really care if they were their birth gender or not

Q. "Would you be OK with a transgender person in the same bathroom or locker room?"
A. I am not "okay" with them on the same planet!
- Anonymous1 decade ago
it depends on how they act towards me,
other than that,
no, not at all.
who's to judge.
how would you know if they think of you, being the sex they switched to, in a sexual way?

No it would not bother me much. It would be a bit of a shock for a second but I try not to pass judgment.
