I get that, but I just can't get behind someone being offended because, not knowing them, I used the wrong pronoun, in a method I've been using it for 60+ years. If you correct me, OK, I get it now, sorry. I'm also not going to ask you up front your preference. It isn't my responsibility to do so.
As far as rest rooms, they should all just be designed co-ed. Heck, most the time I go to a concert or a big sporting event the Men's rooms are co-ed anyway with women sneaking in to avoid the lines at theirs. It doesn't bother me, and frankly shouldn't bother anyone else.
Now let me use a single stall Women's room at a restaurant or store and watch the dirty looks I get, even though its one person at a time. Makes no sense.
