Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

From a brief scan of the internet...

legal situations span juristictions, and there is an actual legal precedent in this matter. You actualy are meant to follow the legal "Principle of least astonishment". a person who presents as a woman will be less astonishing using the women's restroom than the men's  

In Human Resources its meant to run like this

Transgender / Transsexual Bathroom - Restroom References

In landmark case Cruzan vs Davis, a ruling was made in June 2002 by a federal appeals court in Minnesota that an employer is within its rights to instruct a transgendered employee to use the restroom matching their new presentation, and that if another employee complains, the company may offer the complaining employee an accomodation (such a the use of a different restroom by the complaining employee.) .

I can assure you that this principle doesn't appear to be widely accepted across the USA, let alone internationally.

I'm sure it probably isn't but the thin end of the wedge is there and a few years down the line it will happen, You're just amongst those for whom it all seems like you're constantly hammering your head against a brick wall.

Feminists really should know better though.

But you're assuming thes are feminists in a progressive transforming sense. They're not. They're essentialists/wimminists whose philosophy is a conservative idea taking its premise from patriarchal concepts of women's roles, as I explained here
