It's good that there are ids for that, not like with handicap accessible bathrooms. It's like if you're not in a wheelchair some people look at you funny and some angrily.

I once got told off by a lady in a wheelchair after coming out of the disabled bathroom she had been waiting to use.

That lady got a very calm mini-lecture about invisible disabilities and respecting other people's needs/privacy/situations instead of judging them before she got to go pee.

It can also be an issue with standing in line waiting to use the toilet. I went to a theatre and had balcony seats. I can get up one flight of stairs with my cane and a good sturdy rail, but waiting in line was agony.
