I'm a 75 year old cis-male, explaining (but not excusing) initial reactions to some LGBTQ issues. I embrace all humans, regardless of whether or not they conform to gender expectations. My head, though, engages old thoughts on Iowa's transgender bathroom law. It needs help rationally working through difficult social issues.

So, please disavow me of this apparently outdated initial reaction: most cis-gender females are shocked when seeing an outwardly appearing male in their designated private space. Since transgenders are a small minority among us, it is they who should be inconvenienced here.
