Question: Thought we should get an actual measure of Atlas on this topic
#1
Transgenderism is completely made up
#2
Transgenderism is a mental illness and should be treated as such - no reassignment surgery or recongization of a new gender should be provided
#3
Transgenderism is a fully real thing and we should treat people according to their new gender, although allowing them into their new gender's bathroom or locker room may be too risky
#4
Transgenderism is a fully real thing and we should treat people according to their new gender, including in terms of bathroom and locker room access

Combination of 3 and 4. Voted 4. Absolutely we should respect who they are and bullying is never ok.

Bathrooms and locker rooms are separate issues from each other. In bathrooms, there are stalls, and most people don't show their genitals (yes there are urinals though everyone has the option of using the stalls). I wouldn't mind if even a cisgender woman used the stall next to me, and I saw her by the sinks. I also think it would be good to have more one-person bathrooms. Also, there is no reason that a one-person bathroom should not be unisex, and someone has to wait when there's an empty bathroom, though the majority of stores/restaurants do it this way.

For locker rooms, my concern is that someone could pretend to be transgender for an excuse to see naked women and leer at them (though I doubt an actual rapist would be deterred by a sign). Also, the other people in that locker room may not know/realize that that person is transgender.
