How are women meant to tell the difference between a genuine transgender person who just wants to pee, from someone like Alok or Yaniv, at a glance.

Is this possible? Is there a visual indicator we’re all missing?

You likely can't. The best visual indicator would maybe be a lack of a visual indicator, if that makes sense, but that's still making an assumption and taking a risk.

If there is no such visual indicator, are you suggesting we assume the best of all males in the ladies locker room all the time unless we are being actively harassed? Is there a solution that does not involve putting safeguarding? Are third spaces acceptable?

That's a fanciful idea, but not a very safe one. Third spaces are probably the easiest safeguard for everyone. The request to have you just ignore any potential problems or danger or need for privacy is wildly unfair.

Third spaces seem like the ideal solution. Safeguarding for women is still in place, transgender women are free to avoid the distress and dangers of the men’s room. Everyone wins.
