Male sex is relevant to the threat posed to girls and women by men (including transwomen) and the need to have a separate spaces from men. It’s relevant in terms of the genitalia used to rape and threaten bodily harm, the physical differences that make males as a class stronger than and able to easily overpower females as a class, and male patterns of aggression, which is often directed at members of the female sex. If a class of men want to protect themselves from another class of men, they can create their own spaces away from those men. Or there can be a third space for anyone who is uncomfortable with using the space for their sex or any other reason.

A person’s race is not relevant to the mugging.
