No.

I should mention, fate is more in line with 'this person will do something significant.'  This 'something' is non-specific, and, as I'm sure you've thought of it, it cannot be done against you or another power.
Can it be an arbitrarily large integer? Or a large arbitrary integer? Like 8425644645231?

No, the problem is that there really are no such facilities. They aren't accepted in either bathroom really.

Yeah, the real problem here is that "men will harass women in the bathroom" just isn't founded on anything other than conservative fear mongering. The men who don't harass women will continue on their lives, the men who do harass women, as has been pointed out, don't really respect signs, and they have much better places to conduct harassment. The fact of the matter is that any well-traveled bathroom will be very safe from a harassment standpoint.

On the other hand, trans people are harassed within male/female bathrooms because they stand out. They're essentially forced to expose themselves to harassment.

((Can races besides elves use rituals/magic? I sorta wanna start a cultish unathi tribe, but I wanna make sure that's within your lore. Also, are there any divine/demonic elements I should know about?))

Turn 26: And We Shall Call It PRDFRPD
~Tradebridge Castle~
     Rabble sent messengers immediately to rally people to address the bandit threat. As they ran off he gathered some celebratory hardtack and beer in a cart, with the help of Orcus (I guess) and set off, leaving the castle in the hands of the two guards he hoped were the most honest.
     Jongo began marking trees and travelling further from the castle when he heard shouting and a man ran up behind the group. Something about bandits, getting the women and children to safety, and meeting at a hill midway between Waybridge and Herfordshire. He looked with regret towards trees he could see had hives in them, but they would be waiting.
*Averus Darkcast wandered off, but Bomrek McCheesemaker appeared eager for adventure

~Herfordshire~
     Eliza stepped forward and demanded a concrete plan, which was met by murmurs that characterized her behavior as quite hostile and pushy. After all, this new man had just arrived, who was she to demand a plan so immediately. This made it slightly less dreadful when Xaver began to sort of sputter and flail frantically. One man swore he was spit on, and another was definitively slapped by a gesture gone awry. This all served to make everyone less certain of anything. It was into this mire of confusion that a messenger entered and exclaimed that bandits had taken Barkamsted, and those willing to fight were to rally between Waybridge and Herfordshire.

~Waybridge~
     Cortis got nominations started by nominating Dave, a motion Lork quickly seconded. This confused the hell out of the entire tavern. There were those, of course, who nominated Cortis, but after a brief speech by each candidate Dave won the election. It seemed the obvious approval Cortis had given him had pushed him in front of Cortis himself. He made promises to improve shared farming utilities, as well as a promise to construct a palisade around the village to offer it better security. As this was wrapping up a messenger arrived to rally men to fight bandits in Barkamsted.

Then the first order of business is to elect a mayor to rule this town. Now, this mayor will not be like the baron, in fact, they will almost certainly be as hard working as everybody else. The only difference is that they would be responsible for the well-being of this town. For example, if they feel that this town needs a granary to store food for winter, they will bring this matter up in a town meeting and the rest of the town will vote whether they want to be taxed for this asset.

With that taken care of, are there any nominations for this position? I need a nomination and a second.

((So you'll call for nominations, but you could also make a nomination yourself, or take some other congruent action.))

By the way, it is called the People's Democratic Republic of Freedom. Not the Democratic Republic of the People's Freedom or whatever you called it.
From now on I'll call it FDRP. :P

Turn 25: And We Shall Call It DRPF (Cont.)
~Tradebridge Castle~
     Rabble took some time to enjoy the trappings of his new position while his men armed themselves. Fortunately, there seemed to be enough for each guard and man. Unfortunately, there weren’t many more sets left. Meanwhile the women took the slow workhorse out with Jongo and the children, bringing with them some ceramic pots for honey. Unfortunately, Jongo couldn’t find any signs of bee activity. There should have been a beehive in nearly every oak in the savanna near the castle, but the trees seemed oddly barren. +1 Tracking
     Orcus dozed off briefly before coming to, and realizing there were newcomers arriving at the castle. Four ragged looking men arrived from Barkamsted, claiming the town had been taken by bandits who had come down from the hills. A large portion of the town was being held hostage in the clay pits, and there was talk the bandits were going to use them as slave labor.
*Averus Darkcast was among their number

~Herfordshire~
     Xaver spoke up from the back of the group that he had been at the castle. This simple statement turned heads very quickly, and he found himself the center of the mob’s attention. Swallowing back his nerves, he described how the Baron had left the castle itself positively barren. Xaver then described how he could lead them to lives of plenty in their very own village. Not having a concrete plan on how to go about this, his speech was not as convincing as it might have been, but a good third of the mob seemed convinced that little would come of taking the castle, and certainly others were beginning to doubt.

~Waybridge~
     Cortis questioned his followers about their village. They seemed to think there wasn’t anyone really in charge, except to the Baron of course. The only real assets of the village were its blacksmith, the only one in the barony, and their strong forest. A number of the men made their way as lumberjacks. There was no substantial centralization within the village. Lork puffed himself up as large as he could and gave David a crushing hug and he did appear to lighten up. Or at least pale. This converted most of the rest of the tavern to Cortis’ dream of the DPRF.

What do you mean by surgery that can "genuinely change your gender?"
