The supreme court also didnt mention toilets. Not once.
Given unisex toilets exist, in some shopping centers etc., how can it be proportionate to ban trans men or women from other toilets? Makes no sense to me.

While I fully agree with who cares.
On an entirely logical basis. The existence of unisex toilets is not an arguement against others interpretation. It's entirely a labelling issue. Most homes have unisex toilets as well. No oneusing them has any expectations of gender use.
While those arguing against trans use. Logically (although not morraly or scientifically) have an argument that the room is labelled to limit sex if not gender.
Personally I think all public toilets should be unisex. It has multiple advantages.
cubical provide privacy. And in a world where sexual orientation is accepted. Considering privacy an entirely gender related issue is overtly Victorian as an idealism.
Ignoring the lack of evidence of men possing as trans to attack women in a single sex bathroom. Such a threat if it existed would only be unique to such areas due to the lack of expectations of male use. Having both sexes expecting to use the room. And to provide each other with privacy and respect. would provide normal public oversight on any activities.
All gender users should be more likely to have a desire to show an attitude of minimal cleanliness. The use and abuse of single sex public bathrooms, both male and female. Seems to be a unique behaivior invoked when people do not expect to be judged by the opposite sex.
The only interpretation im considering is the supreme courts. By theirs, the concept of a biological sex defined space for toilets doesnt work.
Agreed. But the court dose not make laws. They only get to interpret it.
Be sure to remember it is parliament that can and must fix this. Unfortunately laws will and always have been written in the accepted Lang and ideals of the time. As such they will always need updating to pass evolving ideals.
Unfortunately that has always taken effort from the public to sell and force politicians and in evolved arseholes to accept changes are needed.
