There's no such thing as a "female who used to be male", you can't change being male or female.

There's no such thing as someone having transitioned, there's just male and female people who try to appear as the opposite, maybe with the aid of cross-sex hormones and/or surgery.

It's not as much of a talking point because of male socialisation, men are more likely to
demand what they want, and in this case it's case to women's spaces.

Bathrooms may be over-represented in the discussion, but it's quite simple - as soon as a transwoman enters a woman's bathroom, it ceases to be a woman-only space. Bathrooms are more accessible and universal than sports or refuges.
