If the law is really about gender identity, then you really can't say much to man who says he identifies as a woman but nevertheless chooses to present himself as a man for other reasons. Gender identity based laws are precisely the kind of poorly written laws that are open for abuse.

True.
And perhaps my inability to defend it is two-fold, on one hand in defending a law that isn't perfect, and on the other I'm defending it from an argument that is based on something that statistically doesn't happen. The likelihood of this Seattle guy being a anti-transgender troll is probably higher than him being a pervert.
It's like spraying fire ######ant on water, because other people are worried about your water catching on fire. It just seems sort of fruitless and illogical to have to do.
