But they will result in an increase in violent attack against trans women, and as the real "crime" is not fitting into their idea of certain norms, yeah, they will be enforced in that sense.

Do I want a transwoman in my bathroom? Not really, but I don't really care. I'm sure transmen would not be wanted in the women's room, either. In all cases, they are using stalls, so what's the real issue here?

But the real question is, how do you enforce it? You can't, unless you want mandatory genital searches to use the bathroom.
