    Exactly. Its been one of the most depressing things of the past year or so to see some very specific legal guidance (essentially that it is allowable to have strict single sex spaces excluding trans people if it is essential to achieve certain aims (like women’s refuges)) being used to enact sweeping bans by governments and companies out of reflexive ass covering.
