Being blunt; more often than not, you can tell when a trans woman is trans. People are polite and claim otherwise but most are not entirely "passing".
But testosterone therapies have a HUGE effect on biological women and trans men can easily look 100% male, if often on the short side, but we can't go assuming that all short kings are actually biologically female.
I dunno how that's going to be solved.
Honestly I think the simplest safeguarding solution would be to say that biological men can't use women's spaces, but biological women can use men's spaces if they choose to. Trans men should, if they choose to, still use men's toilets.
That would be a nightmare (or basically impossible) to write into any coherent law though.

Apart from a third space, the solution seems to be to have spaces for
a) cis women
b) everyone else
