To push past in this situation

If someone you knew at work was provoking you (the topic was insisting that you had to announce your pronouns and then tapping repeatedly the back of your chair to annoy you when you refused) and then later in the day that person decided to escalate the argument and also blocked the doorway to the toilets, refusing to move when you asked them to please let you past, would you be unreasonable to shove past them into the loo?

In a situation where there is no other female loo available and both of you are women.

She said they're both women. It's in the OP.

Yes but some women have a penis. Keir Starmer has the stats. To say otherwise would be bigoted.

There isn't any indication in the OP that this issue is about someone self ID ing.

Yes indisputably both women, born women and both have kids. No penises involved, although arguably one or two dicks (yes I count myself there, it was clearly wrong to shove past but ffs some people are irritating).

It's not wrong to shove past someone blocking your way to the toilets. At the risk of sounding PC, going to the toilet is a basic right that she tried to prevent.

Thanks for coming back and clarifying that both of you are biological women and this is about workplace behaviour, not about self ID.

My god ladies, if a MAN shoved past ME trying to get into a ladies loo, I would be absolutely apoplectic and there would be no AIBU thread required.

I hope that day never comes.
