Hmmmm ...

A great resource but also kinda sad in a way?

I'm still in the UK and use Ladies and will continue to do so for as long as I'm still here.

There aren't enough police to investigate serious crimes so I doubt anyone is seriously going to confront me in a Ladies. And if they did, then what? If I tell them I'm female what would happen?

The much bigger issue to me here in the UK is about attitudes. The anti-trans (and anti lots of things) rhetoric from the shouty class have given permission to those with ingrained prejudices to join the hate. That's far more of a problem than worrying if a police officer is going to pop up in your cubicle. I notice it: if someone misgenders you and you challenge it they no longer apologise or withdraw the comment. Hostile stares have increased.

Attitudes + Legislation go hand in hand.

The contrast with a country like Ireland is vast and getting vaster.

There aren't enough police to investigate serious crimes yet the police make daily posts about the e-scooters they've confiscated and crushed.  :(

Here in Barcelona the scooters get their own lanes. Because it makes sense to encourage your populace to use efficient, ecologically friendly modes of transportation.
