Trans woman is banned from flaunting genitalia at YMCA locker room

The language - ‘pre-op private’s’ - well that’s a first!

Because the jury were not convinced by the evidence he was doing it for sexual gratification. That doesn’t mean a male could not be found guilty just because he identifies as a woman. The police could, at the least, have investigated that crime.

Because it's very difficult to demonstrate that somebody is being nude for sexual gratification if they are in a space where their nudity is legal. It would be difficult to charge a man with indecent exposure if he were wondering around a nudist beach. In practice the crime is situation specific.

It is hard. That doesn't mean it's impossible or that it can't or shouldn't be investigated. I'm not suggesting the law doesn't make things unreasonably difficult. I'm just pointing out that the police have let these women down too.
