Gender again. Sorry!

[icowden]

Lots of things that are rightly separated by certain characteristics are open to abuse, from parking in disabled spaces to getting alcohol when you're under 18.

Both of those are offences. For the first you will get a PCN. For the second the shop will be heavily fined.

These are both legal requirements. There is no legal requirement to be a biological woman to use a woman's toilet, nor has there ever been. Further there is no way to police it. Your obsession is pointless.

There is a legal requirement under the Equality Act that if a service has been designated as single sex it means biological sex. If a service provider does not provide a single sex space/service they may be liable to a claim for indirect discrimination against whichever characteristic is being discriminated against.
See the case Bob linked to earlier re Scottish school toilets. The judge said as much.

Service providers will either have to comply with the law or face claims. See also Sunderland minster where a canon decided the building wouldn't be following the law on single sex facilities and the trustees have decided differently.
