6. Also trans-men exist.

And I have yet to hear a proposed solution to "protect womens' spaces" by kicking trans-women out of them that doesn't force trans-men into them.

If you accept the premise that a trans-woman provides cover for male rapists to "sneak" into womens' bathrooms, forcing burly people with beards to use the womens' bathroom seems like a significantly bigger "risk". Then the rapist doesn't even need to dress up first. Likewise, should biological women on testosterone have to plan womens' sports? That seems more dangerous and unsportspersonlike than letting biological men taking estrogen or puberty blockers play them?
