I have never once seen a woman rinse a menstrual cup in all my years of being afab and having to use womens public restrooms. Why would you make an effort to do it in a gender neutral bathroom?
Making absolutely everyone uncomfortable because you fantasize about one day owning the first trans person you meet in your life, who you've been radicalized to hate by a children's fantasy author.
It needs to be emptied out more frequently than once/day for most people. In public a lot of people just empty it out in the toilet when it's full, re-insert, and wash their hands. The risk of toxic shock is pretty low compared to tampons. And with a little technique from repetition you can minimize mess. But if I saw someone rinsing one out in the sink I'd just chuckle to myself and move on. Being disgusted by menstrual blood feels childish to me. But leaving messes for our proletarian janitors and cashiers is inexcusable.
That said: PSA, cups are more sustainable than pads tampons both in reducing waste and on your wallet, and they're about as easy to clean as other silicone unmentionables.
Gotta be real, i've met one (1) person who uses a menstrual cup, if TERFs use it ubiquitously i have to imagine the only ppl who get really into them have weird fetishistic thoughts abt their own period blood.

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression the best way to do it is in a bathtub because it kinda makes a mess
