It may have gotten into interesting territory if instead of going to the Capitol herself, she had a cis girl look-alike go in her place, and pretend to be her.
I wouldn’t expect it to change much but there would be some spectacular gears grinding in the process of detaining a cis woman for entering a bathroom, on suspicion of being a trans woman entering a bathroom.

It’s a crime to impersonate a cop or politician, and impersonating public figures often is in conjunction with fraud. But a private citizen who consents to it? I don’t think there’s a case there.
Its pretty common for cops to fuck with trans people on impersonation charges. Like if you look like a girl but ID says male they’re going to mess with you
The cops would only be interacting with the accomplice in the situation, not the trans woman.
The goal would be to see if they jump the gun in their eagerness to arrest a trans woman and don’t look closely enough to realize that they’re just barging into a bathroom and arresting a cis woman.
