That's not at all weird. First off, you are assuming that their arguments are in good faith. I'll give you a way to always know when their arguments are in bad faith: They're conservatives. It's the only arguments they have. Second, they want you in the women's bathrooms and locker rooms so that they can gang up and kick your ass because you are clearly a man. That's the whole reason.
Or to hide away at home so that they don't have to explain to their children that sometimes other people do stuff that isn't your business.
Nah the kids are strictly an excuse of convenience. So much of conservative antipathy toward gay, queer, trans, etc people amounts to 'get back in the closet so that I can forget that people who are different than me exist.' They are willing to heap a lot of hate, discrimination, etc upon other people just so they don't have to be a little uncomfortable occasionally. Pretty much any time someone drops a 'Won't someone please think of the children?!' what they mean is 'I hate this but I can frame it as being about protecting children so I don't look like a hateful bastard.'
NVM you meant the conservatives waiting outside the bathroom not the women inside of it.
Well it might also make the women inside feel uncomfortable, which is a bonus. Now more people are uncomfortable about the issue, so they can further drive wedges.
