It is not made up. That is kind of nonsense.
It is a mental issue but how to address it isnt so simple as saying it is a mental illness. If surgery or identifying as the opposite sex helps the person live a more comfortable life because they feel they are thst sex then that eoild be an easier solutiom than psychiatry that most likely would do nothing but make the person miserable. As long as they are honest about how they were born with any partners it doesnt really hurt anyone to view them as the sex they identify with.

As for bathrooms. If they are taking horomones and have started the transition then I think stalled bathrooms of the sex they identify with are fine. If they still appear fully like their birth sex then no.

As for open showers or locker rooms the only way that would be acceptable is if they are fully transitioned post op and most people couldnt tell. No reason people should be exposed to someone who is still the opposite sex or have to expose themselves to such, especially minors. But if they are post op it certainly makes more sense for them to use the facility of the sex they resemble as its not like you can see their chromosomes or anything.

Basically it is about letting people live however makes them happy as long as it doesnt harm others. Being dishinest to anpartner or a pre op using the showers of the opposite biological sex involves others so it isnt so simple as live and let live. So something between 3 and 4?
