How can they be men if they have periods? Did G-d make a mistake? Who "assigned" them their sex?

transgender man (an FTM) is “a person who was
assigned a female
sex at birth, but who feels that this is not an accurate or complete description of themselves and consequently identifies as male.

why is it of concern to you. it changes nothing in your life.
It absolutely does. I'm a bigot if I say a person who pretends to be the opposite sex has psychological issues, or maybe i'm a bigot, because i have men, women restrooms at my business
Dear
Jroc for your business sake may I suggest
a. you keep your restrooms private, for employees only. And set up "mediation" training or a peer/ombudsman team
with an open door policy to receive complaints under an agreed process how to report or resolve matters.
if your staff all agree to have single stalled "unisex" facilities to avoid any harassment or discrimination issues,
I recommend that as the most neutral solution.
b. if you offer restroom access to the public, I especially recommend neutral/unisex or singlestalled facilities.
Because of the anti-gay discrimination hype going on, I recommend that if businesses feel they are at risk
for such a lawsuit, to have customers sign "mediation" waivers (similar to arbitration clauses in user agreements
with online or electronic services) that clearly state in case of disputes, matters shall be settled by mediation
and consensus between parties, where possible, or else if differences cannot be resolved, both parties agree
to refrain from conducting business together without further legal action or expense. If any further disputes
result over refunds or returns, this will either be decided by mediation first, arbitration second, or agreeing
to split in half the disputed amount and/or donating the difference to charity that both sides agree on.
I personally recommend mediation that respects consensus of both parties and letting the customer choose the mediator,
or arbitration where the business chooses the arbiter. and if the customers do not agree to that, refrain from accepting
their business. So it isn't directly based on the content of any person's beliefs, but based on whether the parties agree
to resolve conflicts amicably to avoid litigation. If either customers or businesses don't agree to those terms, I would
recommend they not do business together where there is a risk of having conflicting beliefs. The problem is the conflict
which should not be blamed on one side or the other. It's not our fault we believe differently, but whether we can respect that without suing.
It's like saying if you have such clashing beliefs, you shouldn't get married or you'll fight all the time.
The same common sense should apply to business relations. Don't even get into a relationship if you don't agree HOW to resolve conflicts that may arise.
