Yeah, I think this issue is a little more complicated than people want to make it. I think trans women are women, whether they're pre or post-op. But I also recognize that women being told to ignore their own discomfort or fear and concede to the comfort of the person they register as male is also a sexism issue (even if in this case there's no man actually involved).

Years ago I went to a gym where someone I assumed was a trans woman used the ladies' dressing room. I didn't know her, but assumed from her appearance and presence in the ladies' locker room that she was a trans woman. I never complained about sharing the room or thought she didn't have a right to be there. But if I happened to run into her when I stepped out of the shower I did have a moment of "guy in the ladies room!" before correcting myself.
