It's a girls' bathroom because we say it's a girl's bathroom.

Why do we say it is a girls' bathroom? Because it is for girls.

So you are saying its reasonable and expected for a penis to walk into a girls bathroom for all the girls to see?

No, absolutely not. What I am saying is that the reasons why we are against that are due to social prejudices resulting from sexual hangups, not because boys catch cooties from seeing a girl's pubis, or girls get pregnant from seeing a boy's penis.

Well of course not, don't be silly. But what if they touch a towel that was used to dry a penis? That's a one way ticket baby city. It's just a risk you can't take, especially since once one girl gets pregnant they rest are sure to catch it. Once that stuff goes airborne, it just doesn't stop until you've got a whole nursery full of little ones.

The only solution might be to take off and nuke the site from orbit.

Your sex is your sex. You cannot change it(all you can do is snip off the offending parts and alter them to physically appear and function like the real deal. But it doesn't change your biological sex). We refer to males by the pronoun "He". We refer to females by the pronoun "She".

If you tell me your name is Mike, then I will call you Mike.

I remember popping out of my mom's vagoo and everyone was like "That's a Mike! It's a Mike!"

We refer to people who are mentally (identify as) female as 'she'. Its a thing. Compare a few news articles about Laverne Cox - sure, you might find the occasional 'he', particularly if you follow Fox news etc., but the vast majority run with 'she'

Because 'we' don't actually refer to people by the junk they were born with - we refer to them with sexed pronouns until they're able to tell us the pronouns they want.

But it's incredibly rude if you refer to trans-sexuals as their birth gender, you're supposed to refer to them with the gender pronoun they prefer. M2F is "she", F2M is "he".

You use "her" for the same reason people shouldn't be called bigots, because it's disrespectful and not polite.

Also you use "her" because if you don't you are being disrespectful to every other transgender person reading this thread.

Maybe you can use "her" just so that you can feel like you can be a bigger and better person than the disrespectful penis owner.

Wrong. It's that arrogance that causes a lot of confusion that then leads to anger. If you want to identify as something different than what you are, then YOU are asking a favor FROM others. You ask THEM to behave differently just because YOU want it to be that way. Forcing your decision on others and ignoring their very own judgement just because YOU want it that way is wht's incredibly arrogant and rude here. If he wants to be called a she, then ask people to do so. If they do, great for you, if they don't, it's their decision and you either have to respect it or be hyper hypocrite.

I think I'll start referring to you as a turnip, then. After all, if turnip doesn't like being called a turnip, that's turnip's problem, and turnip is demanding that I accommodate turnip.
