Lori, it's hard to not mention specific states because I do have an article from a reporter who did ask specific police departments how they would enforce the law (the OP topic) and this happens to be in NC. This reporter called police departments in four different NC cities.

This is what NC police departments told Mother Jones reporter, Samantha Michaels, when she asked:
Raleigh Police Department: "That's a very interesting question. We don't have police officers sitting at public bathrooms all day long," a spokesman said with a laugh.
Greensboro Police Department: "We would respond if we received a complaint. It's not like we would be standing guard at bathrooms," said Susan Danielsen, a spokeswoman for the local police department, also suppressing a laugh.
Wilmington Police Department: spokeswoman Linda Rawley said the law struck her as strange. "So that means people have to go to the bathroom with birth certificates? Yeah, that was curious to me."
Asheville Police Department: spokeswoman Christina Hallingse noted, "We're not checking birth certificates. We just don't have the police power to be able to do that in bathrooms."

I think you're spreading groundless fear too. First of all, there are so few TGs compared to all the people out there who aren't TG, that it is outside of most people's radar. People just don't think about it. And GGs in this country are not in the habit of bringing husbands with them wherever they go like in the Middle East, so it's not going to happen! And also because people are not on a witch hunt for TGs, GGs aren't going to be constantly vigilant and stare down everyone who is in the bathroom, looking for the slightest clue this person is XY. The TGs and CDers that I know who do go out in public dress to blend and are not out there looking like drag queens. And last but most important, a lot of women truly don't care! You don't seem to realize this and you think that everyone is on a witch hunt.
Besides ... these laws affects government offices and schools and not the private sector so the victims here are TG students while they're at school and TG government employees while they're at work. But even so, check out the Media section for the latest ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, which ruled in favor of a TG student under Title IX. This affects several states including one that has just passed a bathroom law.
