Trans women have been using women’s rooms for as long as I’ve been alive.

I dunno how old you are, so I don't how long that goes back to. But in most places, it's only been within the current century that TW have been able to use girls' & women's restrooms with the protection of the law; with the backing of school, workplace, retail establishment, venues and other public facilities' policies; and with the support of the wider culture. Places like NYC changed its local code to make it illegal to have female-only restrooms in 2002, but in most places the changes are much more recent - in the past decade, and especially the past few years.
