Such a vote wouldn't be only men. And anyway, I think many men would vote no. Is such a vote likely though?

Nothing sensible to add then?

Don't you accept that being gay is not an ideology or a choice then? Really? If not, on what grounds?
Not a red herring at all. If a component or an area of the brain were identified, that only appears in the brains of trans people, it would shoot the "ideology" theory down in flames.
No the brain is not well understood. Nothing like well understood. Which is precisely why, to rule out transgender as having a biological basis, is more than a little shortsighted. Not finding evidence, does not mean that no evidence exists. The main evidence so far, is the persistent existence of trans people for many thousands of years. Nobody can deny that they exist. Just as many attempts were made to erradicate/supress homosexuality which failed, so too trans people stubbornly don't disappear with time or resistance to them. They persist still in all cultures. There is a reason for that, even if nobody knows what that reason is yet. You don't and I don't. As regards a trans woman being female, all of these are just words. Yes, as far as our current definitions go, we use the word female to describe a certain set of conditions. But our definitions may change to inckude or exclude, depending on discoveries, -- and events.
So it may matter not. If Keegan is not alone, and she isn't, in accepting that a fully transitioned trans woman is a woman, and is considered woman enough to be free to access women's spaces, then the delineation between sex and gender will be rendered less important/blurred. That will be an affront to some, others won't mind.
Some will predict great harm. Others will disagree. And then we'll all have to wait to see if any great harm follows.
