What we can't agree on, and that's fine, is that the remedy is to stop trans women being able to use the spaces that align with their identity.

My thoyht on this: largely and long term, I agree with you in sentiment, that genuine trans people (transitioned) ultimately should, in a world where facilities are only binary, not have to use facilities purely based on sex. But this involves a few things - such as an acknowledgement that there are different and more troubling aspects of the "trans umbrella" (autogynephilia is rife if anyone would care to admit it, and a clear risky mindset) and completely discarding the concept of "full self - ID" I.e. All must accept that one is what they say they are regardless of presentation. It often slides close to gaslighting.

Over and above that... it needs to be accepted that from a safeguarding perspective, anythibg that's established has to be done with good planning, proper assessment, carefully and sensitively for all. In recent years it's been done with sweeping broad strokes, and an attitude of "just accept it no questions!"... And at the end of the day that has caused massive damage all round for an entire generation.
