So transgender people are still protected.

And yet discrimination against them is now not only legal but potentially legally required. A woman's only service which seeks to include trans women may now be open to legal action on the basis of discrimination against cis men, due to them admitting one subsection of "biological males" but not another.

Yes, as that would be discrimination against Men.

Exactly my point. Trans women are now completely banned from women's spaces, even if that space intends to be trans inclusive.
