From the February 22 edition of CNN's Anderson Cooper 360:

KAYLEIGH MCENANY: I do think there's a viable argument, not that transgender individuals pose any harm, but this can be utilized by some men, for instance, to go into female bathrooms, it's happened at Target, which does have this same policy in place. Voyeurism issues where cameras have been put up by men taking advantage of the policy. Not transgender individuals. Men, straight men coming in and really, being a predator against women.
