No, they won't use the public restroom.

They get offended because it's legalism.

Hey, we're not supposed to refer to cultural norms. Remember?

That's a utility kilt.

"In children, gender dysphoria diagnosis involves at least six of the following and an associated significant distress or impairment in function, lasting at least six months.

A strong desire to be of the other gender or an insistence that one is the other gender
A strong preference for wearing clothes typical of the opposite gender"

Would have been much of a problem in ancient Israel. Men and women essentially dressed the same.

"Helpfully, in the third — second century BCE the Hebrew Bible was translated into Greek, the Septuagint (LXX), and analogous Greek words were found.The ketōnet is defined as a chitōn (Gk.), which for a man would normally be a short tunic. The ‘avnēt is a zōnē (Gk.), which is anything you tie around the body like a girdle, sash or belt. The linen breeches/pants are periskelēlina; periskelē generally refers to Persian breeches, and in Greek a kidaris is a type of flat Persian turban (see Herodotus, Hist. 8:120).

Thus, the Septuagint’s Greek words link priestly dress with Persian attire. Persians – and in due course the Parthians of northeast Iran – were known to wear pants and waist-tied tunics, with capes clasped with a brooch, along with floppy ‘Phrygian’ caps, as can be seen in the Arch of Septimius Severus in Rome.

So what the Septuagint indicates is that priestly dress was quite Persian/Parthian-looking. Importantly, Josephus – himself a priest – described in detail what he knew priests to wear in his own day. In a passage that is not always well-translated (Antiquities 3:151–58) he tells of how the priest’s feet are put through a linen girdle, diazōma, ‘as into pants/breeches (anaxurides)’. The lower parts are bound to the bottom of the thighs, around the knees. Herodotus also uses the word anaxurides to refer to the trousers of Persians or Parthians (Hist. 5:49; 7:61)."

(Very similar to this roman relief depicting a Parthian (Persian) from the 3rd century AD

Josephus was disqualified as a source. However, this does make the length of the priest's breeches wide open for debate.

"A History of Trousers and Pants in Western Culture

...

Until the 20th century, Western culture restricted the wearing of pants as an essential garment to men.[/B] Before the 20th century, women wore loose pantalettes or drawers under dresses for modesty and warmth. Though actual pants were sometimes seen on women in the late 1800s and in the early part of the 20th century, it was not until the 1970s that the wearing of trousers by women was accepted for business or dress occasions.

The phrase "who wears the pants in the family," refers to the head of that family and equates the wearing of pants with power and masculinity."

Do you know how "Western" culture evolved to restricting pants as an essential garment for women? I'll get you pointed in the right direction. The Romans thought that pants were barbaric, and for the most part, pants never really caught on as an essential garment for either gender. I'll let you take it from there.

What I referred to was Near Eastern culture. In Babylon and Persia, pants were worn by both men and women.
