Women are not interested in other women in the public restroom. They are just busy doing their own chores, applying makeup or checking their appearance. They are more talkative than men. And they seem to feel some kinship in the public restroom.
I like to meet my old friends to go out or have dinner together. Sometimes I accidentally bump into one or two female friends in the women's public restroom. Some of them react as if they see the mischief of a boy, but without saying a word as it can cause some trouble. Some are just accepting it. I remember a female friend in the next stall recognized me, chatting with me in a restroom. She just treated me as if I am her female friend.
When I travel or go out with my family, I avoid entering women's restroom. Fortunately, most of public restrooms here have handicap stalls, and I prefer women's as women's restrooms tend to be crowdy, and of course, it is safer for me.
Law for protecting trans people is still under discussion in the national parliament here, as some Christians vehemently oppose it. However, other existing laws on human rights still can protect LGBT people, although it is not explicit.
I just behave not to make any trouble. Some of my male friends tend to be surprised at my using women's restroom, as they do not grasp what I do daily. Entering a men's restroom causes all kinds of fuss just with plain unisex clothes. Once I was drunken after having dinner with my male colleagues and accidentally entered the men's in a restaurant. A staff outside there shoulted at me that it is for men. Maybe some of the collelagues could understand what I have to deal with everyday.
