trans women in women’s (intimate spaces such as toilets) maximizes overall safety.

"Overall safety" for whom? Only for natal males who call themselves trans.

But certainly not for the bulk of female people, especially young and usually timid girls, elderly women, disabled girls & women, pregnant women, women with several young children in tow, women needing to attend to matters of female biology that are alien to males and females should be able to deal with in privacy and dignity, away from "the male gaze" - menstruation, bladder issues and hemorrhoids due to pregnancy, miscarriage, menopausal or fibroid flooding, clothing stained by blood or breastmilk, urinary and fecal incontinence due to injuries sustained during pregnancy/childbirth or post-menopausal changes.

How does letting some male people into female spaces benefit and enhance the safety of girls and women?

For everyone. Thats why it said overall. Trans women in men’s spaces are in more danger than natal women from trans women in women’s spaces so the safer overall choice if all people are equal is the second.
