It's something that inconveniences the majority to bring convenience to the minority.

If you're not comfortable using either washroom, sucks but everyone has their own crosses to bear and that's yours. Do what all the other adults do - deal with it.

That's some impressive mental gymnastics.

Like segregation. That was an inconvenience for the minority.

Linking being uncomfortable with using a gendered washroom to willful oppression of a group is one astronomical stretch.

Some people are harassed when using the restroom because their appearance doesn't fit society's expectations. It's not always a matter of anxiety attacks, although that's part of it. It's also about the way people are treating each other.

I think the other Voater's suggestion of a third, smaller washroom is the ideal solution. To me, the genderless washrooms comes off as not as removing a burden, but merely transferring it from the minority to the majority.
