I need to move to North Carolina, apparently cops have nothing better to do than police who goes in and out of bathrooms. It must be the safest state in America.

You blame the woman for not dressing like a woman, but then say her clothing choice should be up to her. It was and she dressed how she wanted, so not sure why you're blaming her clothing choice.
As for the legal change, not sure how many other states have a program or system, but you don't even need a court order in California anymore.

Important! You do not need a court ordered gender change to change your California driver's license, social security card, or U.S. passport. You also no longer need a court order to have a new birth certificate issued reflecting a change of gender (for California birth records). You may want to get a court ordered gender change to amend your birth certificate if you were born outside of California. You DO need a court order for a change of name.

The concept of "forceful protection" has always amused me.
I think most people should mind their own business more, unless something directly harms them or someone else. My opinion, of course.
This is something I actually agree with. Police in the US has a status of one of the main scapegoats. Police officers are always guilty, no matter what they do, and even when they do nothing.
I just personally think that a law should not be based on these fears. The law should address real situations. Just because something may happen, we shouldn't introduce countless restrictions to prevent that - especially since the act itself is already covered by the law. Of course, there is a certain balance; no restrictions at all means easier for criminals to act. But this new bathroom law... It is not only excessive, it is also illogical - for many reasons people have covered in the thread.
So she got dressed, how she does normally, more than likely (not saying it was meant to get a rise from police and even if she doesn't dress this way some do) and because she didn't put on makeup, she's supposed to urinate in the street? Or does she get to use the men's room?
So in that case is the flip side true, if a man dresses like a woman, but has no ID he has to use the woman's room?

There was no proof that the person "possessed a vagina". Acted like a man, spoke like a man and looked like a man - No ID to identify the individual as a female - then the police has to assume it was a man. Otherwise anyone can go anywhere they please, simply gotta say "I'm [WhateverGender]. No really, just a really ugly [WhateverGender].".
And that's not how law works. In case of doubt, take the path of least confrontation, in this case, removing an individual out of a restroom instead of risking the entire restroom from being uncomfortable.

I won't touch the current drama and said laws though. It's a big mess and, more often than not, it's the tumblerinas people that have issues with how it's handled and want to change things, while the majority of the transpeople were completely alright with how it was dealt with up until now.
How to tell if somebody learned World Geography in school or from SNL:
"GIBSON: What insight into Russian actions, particularly in the last couple of weeks, does the proximity of the state give you?
PALIN: They're our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska."
SNL: Can't be Diomede Islands, say her backyard instead.
It's not a man's bathroom. "She" looks like a man, talks like a man and clearly wants to snap at cops instead of talking out of the situation. So much drama could be avoided but it's better to film for social networks to see how cops are bad. Let's hope you never really need them.
