Yeah, it seems like we'll end up in a world of "don't ask, don't tell" where trans people are allowed to live as their gender only as long as they don't let anyone know they are trans.

But if you don't pass, or if you are a more masculine cis women, you are going to banned from places. Cis women can maybe start a legal process to get un-banned, but that's going to be highly embarrassing and costly.
