Anything but redesign public restrooms. The incorporation of filthy 
pee-splattered urinals and stalls that don't go floor-to-ceiling and 
leave your ankles exposed is so important to our society, what would we 
do without them.

Basically all vaguely pragmatic concerns with transgender people could 
be solved by a (imo long-overdue) facilities redesign. The rest is just 
bigotry, which engineering can't address.

Surprising number of conservative men seem to either want to become 
"good with women", or invest significant time thinking and speculating 
about what women who aren't their wives are up to.

It seems like a strange set of activities for men whose ideology 
instructs them to find one woman, marry her, have children and stay with 
her for life. They don't need to be "good with women" or think about 
what women in general are up to. Not relevant to the task at hand.
