Sigh . . . A well-publicized washroom case in England illustrates yet again why society needs to move to gender-neutral washrooms. A 55-year-old woman who transitioned some 20 years ago was refused entrance to the ladies room by a security person at a soccer game at Poole Stadium. It was handled poorly, reportedly, and she was humilated when the security person insisted she use the washroom for disabled people. The case is drawing some publicity and even a "tourism watch" on the stadium.
Again, things like this would not be happening if gender-neutral washrooms were available everywhere.
