We're not talking about biology, we're talking about gender.

I think concerns about single-sex spaces are very understandable. It's a sensitive topic and should be handled as such. But with the language on a pregnancy website I think we could accommodate everyone. In the root comment I suggested different materials for cis women and trans men.
Biology did that. Society is recognizing it, and only recently at that, by giving women sex-based rights.

The needs of X vs the needs of Y.
Females need single-sex spaces to avoid violence and rape. Males do not need to be in female single-sex spaces. Needs trump wants.

Many things are zero sum. A single-sex space is only useful if it remains single-sex. A single male rapist can traumatize and attack an entire rape shelter of female victims.
Women's rights don't matter if "woman" means whatever anyone else wants.
