For clarity, I am going to use man/woman in reference to gender and male/female in reference to sex.
Always said this is exactly the way to protest those laws. Get the burliest, most masculine trans men you can find and engage in malicious compliance.
The conservatives and the TERFs are totally aligned on this one - and their thinking boils down to a few points:
You cannot change your sex.
Male persons are evil, dangerous predators.
Predators will do whatever they need to to get better access to prey.
Sex-segregated spaces are segregated by sex, not gender and exist in order to protect female persons from predators by limiting access to them by male persons while in a vulnerable position.
…and that’s really it. You might notice that trans men are totally irrelevant to all of that, since they only really care about women’s spaces. To them a trans man using the men’s room is only putting themself at risk and doing so by their own choice, while a trans woman is endangering the cis women in the space against their will by existing.
