Transgender: Simple rule is needed

I keep reading about the transgender problem at the YMCA and other places due to the poorly written rule by the state Human Rights Commission allowing transgender persons to choose the gender they identify with.

I have no problem with this if the person who was born male has completed the process and has no male genitals. If the male genitals are visible, they should not be in the female locker rooms. How simple is that?
