The failure of such surgery is not limited to sexual inability, but often leads to major disability for the FTM concerned. Of those few network members who have pursued such surgery, nearly all are now disabled for life and will never work again. As a result, such surgery is not recommended by any of the leading physicians in the field, other than a last ditch attempt to save an individual from taking their own life. The implications are that if any time period were to be designated the time when someone was during reassignment, we would have to recommend that, for FTMs, it was that period leading up to the point when they were placed on the waiting list for a bilateral mastectomy. To extend it beyond this would place them in a legal limbo for the purposes of employment for an indefinite period.
Toilets have doors which are designed to give individuals privacy.
FTMs always have to use a cubicle rather than a urinal. Hormone treatment very quickly allows the FTM's voice to break and beard growth to develop, for them to use the lady's loo would, we are sure, be extremely threatening to the women who used them. It is FTM's who are likely to feel fearful in public toilet areas, many find the fear of discovery very debilitating. Many people would fail such a test - on that basis should employers insist that a polycystic woman with facial hair or a Kleinfeldter's syndrome man with breast growth use the disabled toilet. Surely the public in these circumstances are only seeking the treatment provided by these people, patients with flu really don't care whether they are seen by a male or female doctor, similarly both male and female chiropractors treat both men and women.
