Keeping men out of spaces meant for traumatized women isn't discriminatory or transphobic. That's just an entitled attitude to have towards women.

Thinking trans women are men is just an entitled cis perspective rooted in transphobia.

How so? They are literally men. They look, act, and sound like men. Women fleeing male violence shouldn't be subjected to some guy's fantasy vision of himself when they need protection and safety from males.

Saying someone looks or acts like a man is sexist essentialism.

Good thing then that trans women are women and not men.

Do you think men and women are unidentifiable from one another? Observing reality isn't being prejudice against a person's sex. In which ways are transwomen actual women?
