@freemo proposed the Neanderthal approach 🙂
I'm joking on this, because an apparently simple question about who can enter a female bathroom or not, in practice has no a real answer. It is nearly impossible to find a rule able to take in considerations all border-lines cases. You can partition the binary cases, but when you approach the border-line, the binary gender became a multi-factor, open-set of values. You can discuss forever.
I will end with a provocation: because there are no discussions about who can enter the male bathroom? :-)
It isnt even ethically possible int he binary cases... Someone looks like a guy andtries to enter the female bathroom, they claim to be a woman... How do determine if they are or not? Short of checking their genitals you'd have no real way to know, which isnt ethical. So really even in the most straight forward of cases there is no way you can ethically resolve this short of giving up the whole idea of seperating people in the first place.
@freemo @mzan I see the point. We have a lot of cases where we have laws where it is hardly possible to prevent someone acting against them and then more laws about how far you can go to try. Speeding is an obvious one where we haven't given up but haven't banned driving yet. I don't know the answer and that doesn't surprise me.
@freemo Yes I see your point.
Maybe we can switch to public bathrooms divided by functionality. A bathroom reserved for people with disabilities, then another one with privacy guarantee internal spaces, and finally a "quick and cheap" bathroom with private toilet but shared sinks. In normal situations, the more comfort and privacy you want, the more time you had to wait.
Seems like overkill.. just make all bathrooms unisex, and if people arer worried make sure the stalls are well built to avoid people peeking.

Bingo! We are in democracy. Every bathroom needs an entrance podium. After a short public speaking where you introduce yourself, the others inside the bathroom can vote and decide if you can use the bathroom. :-)
