This one is targeted at those who think there is no meaningful distinction between sex, gender identity, and gender expression (á la this convenient graphic).
What characteristic determines whether someone is a man or a woman?

Women with CAIS?One who has eggs is a woman.
No eggs, no woman.
(I love to see someone who can give an exception to this one)

They look like women. They're raised like women. They hold themselves to be women. Why should we consider them men? Given the context, I don't see any reason to consider them not women in any context save for childbirth, where they can be placed on an even footing with infertile women - who I suppose are also "not women"?Simple, a woman with CAIS is NOT a woman.

...The basic function of a women is to give childbirth.
A human does not have a potential to give childbirth is not a female human, which we called woman.
Well, you sure aren't gong to be well-received among the many women who, for one reason or another, can't bear children.The basic function of a women is to give childbirth. If you don't accept this, then you violated the basic principle of life evolution.

The Victorian Era called. It wants its offensive, limiting stereotypes back.
Great. So women whose tubes have been tied, who were born infertile, and who for any other reason cannot have viable offspring are not women.
So which bathroom should my aunt Janet use? Or, you know, any woman over the age of 60?

If they have eggs, they CAN, one way or another.

This is total sky-is-falling hyperventilating.......We are rushing to change the world based on incomplete evidence....
Not according to the law in many places, not according to her gender, and not according to any reasonable consideration of the evidence. Is this a woman?
Why? Because he was born with a vagina? Why should that trump every other factor here? Particularly when it comes to the question of which bathroom he should use?
What pressing concern do women have here, exactly? Fear of sexual assault? Oh, right, please, cite the cases you know of where a transwoman committed sexual assault in a women's bathroom - I can tell you right now there aren't any. Privacy? Most transwomen just want to go in, do their business, and get out like anyone else. They have even more interest in respecting other people's privacy and having their own privacy respected, because trans people face incredible amounts of violence for their use of public restrooms, regardless of whether they use the restroom that corresponds with their sex or the one that corresponds with their gender.
Meanwhile, you know what's stacked up against that? General mental health - WPATH, the APA, and the AMA all recognize that living life as a member of the opposite sex is, in fact, part of treatment. Physical safety and wellbeing - trans people forced to use the opposite gender's restroom face far more harassment, assault, and abuse, and if you look at Shawn Stinson up there, you can probably figure out why. The gender of the individual - transwomen have a female gender. I realize you don't accept that gender is a thing which is distinct from sex, but you're just wrong - you might as well deny that genes exist, or deny that testosterone is a thing people have.
You're right! Our anatomy also defines our sex. These are two distinct things! For some people, they get a female gender and a male sex. They may be the rare exception, but that does not diminish their existence, or their rights.
They're there to shower and change, not show off each other's genitals. If they have a problem with this transwoman, then yes, that is their problem. They can get over themselves. You might as well complain about a gay person sharing the shower - and they're more likely to stare.
I guarantee you that there are more cases of a transwoman being murdered for entering the men's bathroom than of transwomen raping women in the women's bathroom.

Plenty of infertile women will never give birth, yet it would baffle common sense to call them men.

I don't think that a civilized society would pursue medical treatments trying to fix the brains of transsexuals to make them happy with their birth-sex. The phenomenon of gender identity is so complex that it would probably required very intrusive medical interventions. That strikes at the heart of the dignity of the human being and their self-determination, something we in western societies value a great deal... precisely because it is part of our Jewish and Christian traditions.
