You're not alone, 2A. When I travel in Y, I never consider it my God-given "right" to barge into the F cabin just because I think I'm special/important/different.
People who do are essentially applying the same thought process as able-bodied people who park in disabled-designated parking spaces, IMO. Yes, I realize the situations are completely different, but that doesn't change the thought process that allows people to rationalize taking something that doesn't belong to them - whether a parking space or a pee.
I suspect many of the whiners are given to frequent use of phrases like "fat cats", as in, "Those fat cats up in first class think they're too good to let us use their lavatory." No amount of patient explaining the concept of paying for a premium product or service will deter people who play the victim in situations like this.
You know, I'm fat. Coach seats aren't very comfortable for me. Should I be able to move on up to a bigger F seat because I want to, or think I'm somehow entitled because of my big ...? Of course not. If I want the premium product, I pay for it either with dollars or miles.
Why this isn't obvious to everyone is something I can't figure out.

I agree wholeheartedly.
You know, I'm really hungry and that FC meal looks better than my Y snack - I'm just going to go up there and get one.
Stay in your respective cabins, curtains or no curtains.
