"I simply don't understand what is the huge effort in using the restroom appropriate to your physical gender" Fun story time: I went to the Santa Cruz boardwal

"I simply don't understand what is the huge effort in using the restroom appropriate to your physical gender" Fun story time: I went to the Santa Cruz boardwalk a few months back with some friends. It was packed and the line for the woman's restroom was massive, so I figured I looked androgynous enough in jeans and a black tshirt that I could get away with using the men's room. The whispers started immediately after I made it to a stall. "Whoah, did you see that? There's a girl in here!" Now, by your definition I was using the restroom appropriate to my physical gender (since you seem fixated on genitals or genes or something). I'm also a tiny 5'5" thing and transitioned a decade ago in my teens (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cfx0a8fUAAAfsoW.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cfx0a8fUAAAfsoW.jpg). These men were twice my size, and I was mortified and a little scared. I did my business and got the hell out. It was a lovely day at the beach other than that. Anyways, if I lived in NC, I have no idea where I would actually use a restroom if I was out in public. Is that not insane? Why should a bunch of conservative men be able to pass a law and restrict a basic bodily function that we all need to deal with? I'd be stuck having to find gender neutral bathrooms where I could.
