And sometimes exclusion is just freedom of association. Part of the trouble is that we allowed exclusive spaces, particularly sex-exclusive spaces, to be demonised, and this is the result.

I’ve a feeling that sex-segregated spaces in the past were widespread (pubs having men-only saloons, working men’s clubs, The WI etc) for good reasons that weren’t simply about oppressing women. It’s not just about physical safety, although that is a primary concern in the Troon debate.

And frankly the push from feminists to try either close down or gain entry to guys spaces for fucking decades leaves my "give a flying fuck" meter reading at a minus except for changing rooms and most days toilets.

Why are women a monolith? Many women never wanted to go into men's spaces, and frankly, the threat of sexual assault of women -> men is extremely minor compared to that which troons present.
