"Tranny men or women don't expose themselves in showers"How do you know that? Are you saying they aren't ALLOWED to? If that's what you are saying I've never that.Where'd you get that from?
I say that only because I believe that's the truth, I can't imagine a transgender (trannie to you) subjecting themselves to that kind of environment unless it's a nudist colony..... Do you have any info to dispute it?

Can male sports reporters go into female dressing rooms?

Luke Ercole, I'm kind of a male who, therefore, knows what it's like to be a male.

Male reporters are in women’s locker rooms all the time.
A few years back, in the wake of the controversy surrounding the treatment of TV Azteca reporter Ines Sainz by some members of the New York Jets, Ann Killion of Sports Illustrated addressed this persistent myth.
The WNBA . . . has the same rules as the NBA. Open locker rooms at designated times. In the NCAA tournament, the same rules govern both men and women’s locker rooms — they’re both open at specific times. During the regular season, NCAA institutions can make their own rules about locker room availability, but during the tournament the NCAA has a uniform policy. When Stanford played UConn in last April’s championship, if you wanted to see how devastated Jayne Appel was after her terrible shooting night, you needed to be in the locker room. I was there. So were my male colleagues.
Dan Lauletta, who currently covers soccer, tennis, and golf, but who covered the WNBA earlier in his career, told me (via soccer writer Meg Linehan) that he was allowed into WNBA team locker rooms at designated times and that “It was never an issue.”
It all depends on the sport. Some sports don't allow either genders in the locker room.

However, a major reason this myth persists is because of the lack of pictures/videos of men in women's locker rooms. It's not as common as women in men's rooms.
