To answer on someone else's behalf, you seemed to imply that a trans man would require access to female-only places - but a trans man is someone who identifies as male. A trans *woman* would identify as female and would be the person e.g. fighting Ronda Rousey in the UFC. Referring to such a person as a man could be construed as misgendering.

In that case I sincerely apologise. No offence was meant or intended (or I hope, taken). Shows how little I have tried to engage with this debate that I haven't internalised the language which, to my slight mitigation, feels counter-intuitive.
