Gender Identity and Public Restrooms: a quick thought

Gender Identity has been a hot issue in the United States for years, although it only truly affects people who were born a different gender than they identify as. Personally I believe that people should be able to cross-dress if they like, etc. although I do not agree that transgender people should be able to use the public bathrooms of the opposite sex. I say this because although it may be exclusionary against transgender people, who are a very small percentage of our population, it gives predators opportunities to find prey. More than likely people who have fetishes of sexual interactions with children, or pedophiles, will take advantage of the legal right to use the restroom of the opposite sex to find children to exploit, who may be unattended by an adult. The legal right to use restrooms of the opposite sex would also result in an increase of "peeping-toms". Although Transgender people may not be very happy about it, I believe it is in the best interest of the general population to keep public restrooms for people of that sex.
