Discussing which restroom they should be using is a little premature; we should be discussing which mental health institution they should check in to or which psychologist they should be visiting for treatment and therapy. Living in close proximity to San Francisco I come across more transgendered individuals than one might in other parts of the world, and while I don't hold any animosity towards them, I do wholeheartedly believe they are mentally ill. People who identify as a gender other than the one defined by objective standards of gender, like chromosomes, hormones, and gentiles, constitute a tiny minority of any population. A minority so tiny it's actually comparable to the number of people who identify as a species other than human, despite all the contrary evidence that they are not, in fact, a horse or a cat or a dragon. There's not a shred of evidence any of these humans are anything but, despite their protests that they feel, "trapped in a human body," coincidentally the exact same protest transgenders make. If you think that someone who really believes at the core of their being that they are actually a dog and not a human being, and that they want to act out that fantasy by wearing nothing but a collar, barking at things, walking on all fours, and eating kibble, is utterly insane, I agree with you. And I find a transgendered person wanting to take drugs to fuck up their body chemistry, saw off their body parts, and run around in a wig to be equally insane. Generally I don't have any problem with people doing something crazy so long as it's not a danger to others or themselves. However, transgenders suffer some of the highest suicide rates in the country, before and after any surgery or hormone treatment they undergo. If you care about the quality of life for a transgendered person, then you must agree they need treatment, not to be coddled and told their condition is perfectly acceptable. Side: men's restroom

A lesbian trapped in a man's body is another way of saying a man who likes to have sex with women. That's a heterosexual. You would use the men's room. Either you made a brain teaser the others didn't get or you made a brain fart which fails to demonstrate the scenario you wanted to protest. Side: men's restroom
A "lesbian trapped in a man's body" would actually be a transgender woman who likes other women since being a lesbian necessarily means being a woman (otherwise, semantically, the person in question would be a gay man). Among the many empirical errors evident in the original statement, the most relevant one here is the conflation of sexuality with gender. This is a fairly obvious case of ignorance- and prejudice-induced brain flatulence, and hardly a "brain teaser" for anyone with an even moderate grasp on queer semantics. Side: men's restroom

Not that simple, actually. I don't clearly present as either binary gender. I go into either restroom and I get weird looks, if not actually being told "you're in the wrong restroom". Nor does saying, go into whichever bathroom you most identify with solve the issue since I don't identify with either. Better approach is to stop proscribing a "should" at all, IMO.
