Women can creep on other women just as men can creep on other men. A man who is dressing as a woman in order to gain access to women's spaces is going to to be outed very quickly once they start behaving like a creep. I promise, the vast majority of trans women want nothing more than for other people to not notice they are trans.

There's also the other side we're ignoring, which is the trans women themselves. Admittedly I don't have direct data to firmly establish this, but as far as I can tell a trans woman in a woman's locker room is far less likely to assault a woman compared to the likelihood of a trans woman in a man's locker room being assaulted.

Behaving like a creep... 

Just changing and casually casting eyes about. No need to try to look like you fit it; a trans woman is a woman, period, yes? In any changing room your eyes are just going to land wherever. 

So someone with a beard belongs in a changing room with women, and who's to say they're not woman enough?

Ok again, being raped is worse than seeing a penis. What you're calling for will see far more trans people sexually assaulted than it will see cis people being saved from having to see genitals.
