The simple presence of a penis attached to a woman in a women’s changing room does not imply in any way that a person is behaving inappropriately, any more than it does when attached to a man in a men’s changing room, or an androgynous person in either. Taking offense at someone’s unaroused body in a changing room, when they’re keeping to themselves and changing, however, is a severe violation of social protocol in many cultures. Some intersex people have two sets of genitalia, one for each changing room; they must use one or the other, as only the two options are offered in the vast majority of cases. If they are intersex women, then those around them may be made uncomfortable by their body’s physical features. It is everyone else’s responsibility to deal with that discomfort and let them finish changing without comment, same as they would expect to be left alone about their own physical features while changing. If a person is behaving inappropriately in a changing room, such as staring at the sexual features of many others, or making rude gestures towards or uninvited comments about physical features, then they should be asked to stop or leave and may be subject to punishment by the business and/or local authorities for their behavior — no matter what their own genitalia are, whether they’re a match for the gender label (if any) on the door of the changing room or not.
