If Europeans can have unisex restrooms, why should we Americans put up with the right-wing fear-mongering nonsense about trans people using the “wrong” restrooms?
That is mostly true. Although on some college campuses, men and women use male or female restrooms based upon convenience, especially in dorms. I think a lot of younger adults are a lot looser about all that. And as for older folks, sometimes it an be a matter of any port in a storm. Me, I'd much sooner walk into a woman's restroom and grab an empty stall to pee in than go qround all dqy with a wet spot on the front of my jeans because I couldn't locate or get a spot wwith a free toilet or urinal in a men's restroom. And like many women, when the women''s restroom is in high demand and there's a long line, like at intermission in a full-house concert, she's not beyond just pushing her way into a men's bathroom and grabbing the first available stall. The walls are falling...
I wonder why does an OLD MAN like you feels free to discuss the disrespect to women's sex based rights and privacy while we're in the restrooms? I do wonder about the humanity of an old man who would rather scare a woman OR A GIRL than be in conflict with other men.
BTW, MOST of Europe has SEX segregated toilets.
As in, gtfo out of women's hardly won RIGHT to be present and safe in public.
Also, this has nothing to do with "transgender" shit.
In Scotland and the rest of the Uk we have seperate toilets for both sexes and the provision of a disabled toilet.
As a woman I want seperate toilet facilities to provide safe spaces for women and girls. Safegaurding women/girls is not restricted to the "looney right" and lumping all women who do not want males in our intimate spaces as such is sexist and displays a complete disregard for the need for seperate spaces for women and girls. I suggest that you do a little research into the reasons why safegaurding is paramount.
As for y.our use of the "cis" prefix, there are no such people. Diana a transwoman wrrote the following:

Unisex (man or woman) bathrooms are usually strictly separate rooms — at least in the US
