All right, just to get things straight.
First of, I am not a US resident nor a citizen. Therefore I really do not care about the remarks about Republican Congressmen. Well, mostly.
Second, in my comment I mostly focused on the group who are physiologically women and also address themselves as women, i.e. women. If this was not clear enough, I am sorry.
I did also not mean or write that there is in my opinion an increased risk from transgender people in the case of unisex toilets or that it would increase the risk for the transgender people. I hoped that the meaning was clear enough, I am sorry again.
I am also not arguing against the opinions voiced here like "transgender folks are generally the ones at risk of assault".
I am not physician and I do not have any court statistics handy, but my hypothesis was that
a) hygiene in the men occupied toilets in general might be worse than in women only occupied toilets and sharing a public toilet with men might raise the risk of infections for women (it is a less problem for men because they mostly use urinal in the public toilets, if this was not clear enough),
b) women may be at higher risk to be sexually assaulted in the toilets shared with men (and please note, I know that this is already a crime).
