Conservative asked me my thoughts on a situation if a guy who says he's trans walks into a womens restroom but is lying and isn't actually trans (lemm.ee)

My thoughts is that it's a simple situation really. If they're harassing or assaulting people, the women will call the cops or something, simple situation and get the guy arrested. If he's not doing anything, it's nothing harmful. Apparently that's not a solid enough answer. What should I have said?

Literally the only times I have EVER seen it was when I was at concert and a woman came in and exclaimed that the line was too long for the women's. I have never once seen a man go into a womens room

I have seen it in a few instances where the baby changing facilities were only in the women's bathroom, and a father needed to access them. I wish that bathroom discourse could involve structural inequities like this, but the bigots are overly concerned about what is in people's pants
