Seriously? I'm all for inclusion but let's not make almost everybody else feel uncomfortable all of the time to accommodate a small percent of the population. Just use the bathroom that you're most comfortable with and anybody who causes trouble - well, it's their problem, not yours. This idea makes California's transgender law look tame in comparison.
The author is not fully welcomed in either restroom ?
Are they wearing a sign or something ?
How is a guy to just "know" another guy is trans ?
Look down..what do you have there..go to that bathroom.
Geeze Louise. These "snowflakes" need to get over themselves about who they are in their head vs who they are in their pants.
Why is there such a hangup on bathrooms? If you have to go will you wait outside of your opposite sex bathroom? give me a break. if it is a single use room, first come first serve. If women want to use the mens room, I could care less. I have far more to concern myself with.

I have been in bathrooms where there are urinals and stalls and were actively used by both sexes - it wasn't a "Men's Room", it wasn't a "Women's Room", it was simply a large bathroom used by whoever needed to use it (simultaneously). In Asia, BTW (and - probably - some of the stalls had the impossible-to-use-right-by-the-naive "squat toilets"...but that's a matter for a different thread).
They do things a bit differently in Asia and, say, in furthest northern Europe; the hot spring spa I went to in Japan had separate men's and women's areas (and REALLY hot water in some of the pools) but the men's area had middle-aged women handing out towels in the changing room as the naked men walked into the pool area; it was not difficult to instantly get used to the concept.
Actually, I think that the option of having gender-neutral bathrooms in addition to gender-specific ones would be a good idea. It might help individuals such as cross-dressers, who will still be able to cross-dress in public and to go to public bathrooms without the risk of either getting beat up or getting sued.
MY doctors offices at GWU hospital have unisex restrooms, usually two in one local. They were most likely assigned male and female at one time but traffic made them free them up.
I've noticed "family" bathrooms appearing in a lot of new construction. They are single-use bathrooms which would solve the problem for these transgenders.

Lawyers and lawsuits are an impediment of great concern. He said, she said.
Any business that does not provide female only bathrooms will suffer customer wise I assure you.
