Interesting. I never thought about the "purpose" of male:female segregated restrooms before (having just assumed it was the norm). Let's see. What is the purpose. As far as I know, from my college days mostly, guys don't mind peeing in front of women. They might mind defecating in the presence of anyone ... but peeing is no big deal. For defecation, there's always that stall door that you shut (except in the gay hangout bathrooms where they keep removing the door hinges such that the poor maintenance men have to practically rivet the doors with one-way screws). So, assuming the gay crowd hasn't removed all the hardware, the average guy couldn't care less if a woman came into "his" bathroom. Turn the tables around. In my (male dominated) opinion, women would freak out if a guy were to casually walk into her bathroom, whether or not anything happened in plain sight (assuming all women's bathrooms have privacy providing stall doors). Why would they freak out? I don't know but I assume women are basically afraid of men. I may be wrong, but, I assume that. Otherwise, why would they freak out. I've seen it happen but only rarely, and usually by accident. Perhaps women just value their privacy more than men in this situation. After all, they never pee standing inches away from the president and ceo of the company all the while chit chatting about the weather, like men do all the time. Anyway, my response is of little additional value because I just don't know. I'm working on my "assumptions" here that women fear men and men don't care. Assuming that, (which may not at all be a valid assumption as I'm guessing wildly here), then a crossdresser, whom I assume for this purpose is a man dressed as a woman, can walk into the men's restroom without problem. He can even pee standing up next to the VP without any problem. On the other hand, if the crossdresser (assumed to be a man in woman's clothing for this purpose) walks into the ladies restroom, if they notice his bulging adam's apple or his huge ankles and feet or his height or shoulders, then they'll freak out with uncomfortablility (assuming my assumptions, of course). Not a good idea. Police will be called (women call the police muuuuuuuuuuch quicker than men in these situations) ... and they can do a strip search. As for the end results ... I'm sure the strip search will determine which restroom you "belong" in. Hey, interesting question ... is it ILLEGAL to go into the "wrong" restroom? Has anyone been prosecuted for that that you know of?
