There is a guy with a camera out in the bathroom and the cops are called... and you think the law is the one creating the problem here and not the one with the camera out in the bathroom? I wouldn't give a rats if that was inside the mens bathroom with little boys around and he had that camera out I'd be calling the cops or smashing his phone off the ground, this really isn't a gender issue in the slightest, it's a "don't fucking take out a camera in a restroom" thing.

The cops were not called on this guy....  

My point here is that, according to the law that guy has to use the ladies bathroom.  How do you think ladies are going to react to that?  They are likely going to call the cops, because the man was following the law and using the bathroom he was supposed to.  How do you think that's going to end up?  Using public bathrooms will likely become a giant pain for him.   

The reason for the camera is because of a campaign.

So I don't know what you think the camera has to do with the story at all.  It has literally nothing to do with my point.  

If the camera had anything whatsoever to do with my point, the story or anything else, I would have to ask what is wrong with taking a picture of myself?

The link to the story might have been important to the original story since that guy in a bathroom is not quite a guy and not a guy in the eyes of the law which is the point you wanted to make?

As for what is wrong with that person taking a picture, it's in a public bathroom, that is what is wrong with it, christ even you can surely see that the picture is not just of that person alone in there? if you are in a male bathroom there is urinals, if you've visited one you would know that people have their dick out inside there, like I said again, if that was in a bathroom here and someone had their camera out inside this person would have one of two things happen to them, the camera/phone would be chucked in a toilet right away and the person would risk getting the shit kicked out of them.

Public bathrooms are not the place for selfies, regardless of the "campaign" it's just not the place for it.

In particular.

"you can't publish a photo that gives away private information about someone. This includes photos like the aforementioned AA meeting or doctor's office along with any other situation where a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy."

Should never have been published online as there is another person present in the bathroom behind this person.
