So you should just be honest about your reasons. I see no problem with a What's the Big Deal? argument. You're helping your wife. You're not some creepy guy hanging out in the women's changing room.
If I was in the same situation again, and they asked me to leave the fitting room, I would ask why?
And if the answer is something along the lines of cisgender men are not allowed in female designated changing rooms, then I’d indicate I’m not cisgender.
If my non-binary status gives me the right to be in there, I see no need to have to explain myself any further.
They underlying reason why I’m not allowed in there is based on an assumption of my gender idenitity, so I see no reason to make the argument about something other than this basis.
I have to use the non-binary card, because I’m being forced to, based on a false assumption that I’m cisgender.
