Maybe that's just a fad that will blow over. Nobody took that idea seriously until a few years ago. On Google Trends, peak "transgender" was in 2018. Transgenders are around 0.6% of the US population. Niche issue.
Yup, that's the only thing any company or person can say without causing a Twitter storm against them. By saying this they can simply avoid clarifying what they mean by this. I think all these public personalities will have a much harder time if they were asked a clearer question:
Should any man who self ids as a woman have access to women's private spaces.
I don't see a large company ever answering that in yes/no.
I see people say many things, not all of them make sense or appear consistent to me, which is why I am asking questions.
I appreciate the answer. Are there situations where those of the female sex as a group have a legitimate special interest that does not include trans women?
I should add, I see people use the phrase "assigned male/female". Which seems odd to me if sex is a biological construct rather than a social construct. It seems the correct phrase would be "assigned man/woman". Is there something I am missing?

In what sense? That is, in terms of their gender, or their sex, or both?
"Women" is not a sex.
You don't see people saying "trans women are biologically female" for a reason.

Things are getting just a little bit ridiculous in America when you have people saying "women" is not a sex.
