There's absolutely zero lack of comprehension. We comprehend this very, very well. And that's the problem.
Read your own last bit there. You, who are male, who present as male, need only identify yourself as a woman... and by doing so you now would have the LEGAL RIGHT to go into any female-only space and look at naked females - WHETHER THEY WANT YOU TO OR NOT. There is nothing that females can do to prevent you from looking at them without their consent.
Give that a minute of thought, please.
This law creates a situations that literally removes the consent of females from whether or not males get to look at them naked. Males can now, legally, force females into a situation where they can be viewed by males even if they don't want to.
The only solution that females have in order to avoid being the unwilling object of voyeurs... is to NOT USE ANY OF THOSE SPACES.
I've given it plenty of thought (sorry: we've given it plenty of thought*...). And I've/we've also given thought to the fact that - to borrow your rhetoric:
You, who presents as female, need only identify yourself as a man... and by doing so you now would have the LEGAL RIGHT to go into any male-only space and look at naked males - WHETHER THEY WANT YOU TO OR NOT. There is nothing that males can do to prevent you from looking at them without their consent.
And I'll state once again: if there are situations where reasonable evidence indicates that females in women's changing rooms are being made uncomfortable owing to the presence of males who are identifying as women, then - clearly and obviously - measures will have to be taken in order to a) protect females in that situation, and b) sanction the offending transwomen appropriately.
* And the likes of the US Presidency and the US House of Representatives has also given it thought. Unless, that is, you believe that all of those many hundreds of experienced policy-makers and legislators - a large proportion of whom are females - haven't given it much (or any?) thought?
