I think that it's handled pretty much like that everywhere, however it seems a terribly flawed system. To wit: what makes someone transgendered? And no, not in the physical or mental sense, but the legal. For example, if one is stopped by the police whilst driving, one must produce valid identification (and perhaps other documents, i.e. insurance, etc.) that indicates the person is legally entitled to operate a motor vehicle. So then, if I am male, but I'm feeling especially feminine today, what is to keep me from entering the women's restroom? It's already quite clear women can wear men's attire without it raising (m)any eyebrows, so if clothed as a male normally would be, why could I not enter the women's restroom if I liked?
I'm pretty sure that regardless of where you lived, unless you have a "transgender identification card*" you'd have some ramifications from such behaviour.
Your example is just further proof of the need for doing away with these gender segregated restrooms. Thank you for your support on this most urgent matter.
*And just try to institute a system where to be trangendered one must carry a card. There would be torches and pitchforks a plenty gathering in your courtyard.
How long before we can do away with gender specific spaces?

I don't know about where you live but in my state transgender people go in the bathroom of the gender they feel they are.
