You may not believe you are anti-trans, and I'll even give you the benefit of the doubt that in your heart you are not. However, what it takes to support this kind of policy is steeped in a fundamental ignorance of the trans community and experience that does real-world damage, and is something I would certainly suggest you invest more of your time towards listening and understanding.

Segregation for safety is not a bad thing.
