Thing is, they can’t. Trans people pass as cis pretty often, even to transphobes. And they’re constantly ‘transvestigating’ people who are actually cis.
What this will actually accomplish is license to harass (and, yes, probably attempt to inspect the genitals of) anyone who’s even a little bit gender non-conforming. It will mainly hurt cis women and cis men who, respectively, don’t look feminine enough or don’t look masculine enough. Functionally, it’s just another way to enforce gender conformity.
I like to hit 'em with a few photos of ALL trans people including ones like Buck Angel and have them pick out who they think is trans or not. They always fail.
I’m curious how they’ll handle enforcement. “Please present your genitals for inspection before entering”
They are trusting that society will harass any and all women who don’t look feminine enough. It is social control.
Oh, this type thinks they “can always tell”.

It’s hillarious when they don’t can’t see the difference and they either give confidently the wrong answer or internally panic lmao

A court will handle that.
