if a cis woman can be kicked out of a women's bathroom for not looking feminine enough, rude and wrong as that is...

Here's the thing: it was never about "protecting women" or something. It was always about controlling how a woman is supposed to look, act, etc like. Women who are not "feminine enough" are not supposed to exist.

Fathers of daughters might be upset, but they could go in with them.

Most of them, especially fathers with younger daughters who still need some help with the toilet, will probably be relieved. Because nowadays it feels very weird being a father who wants to help his daughter with toilet things starting at choosing the appropriate restroom, being stared down or being scared of reactions.
