So you are biologically a male, you identify as a female, and you wanted to use the female bathroom?

I think that if, as a society, we decide that gender access to restrooms is not based on physical gender but instead based on how you self-identify -- then as society we should completely eliminate the separation of bathrooms for males and females.

Agree or disagree?

Yes. Though in practice, I still feel more comfortable with gender segregated bathrooms, and I (female) would rather just share with female-identified persons than with males.

Interestingly, a local university (Uvic) has gender non-specific public washrooms. The kind with 4-5 stalls and sinks. Everyone welcome.

Agree. In the U.S. OSHA has already mandated this. Employees do not have to prove their gender.
