David A. Michaels: Men in women’s rooms

I have a friend who is transgender. He was born a woman. It is not possible to tell without a DNA sample. He has a beard and a deep voice, and he is attracted to women. So in the name of public safety and protecting women and children, he must now use the women’s restroom. Makes perfect sense.
