Honestly if Ursula K Leguin can write the fantasy series Earthsea with like 2 White characters in total in the 1960s, if Tolkien can write about Brown Hobbits & Elves & North African coded Dunedain in the 1930s, if Jane Austen can write about a Black heiress in Regency England, if William Shakespeare can write a play about a Black man as its main character in Tudor England, if a 13th century Medieval Author of Morien can write about a Black Knight of the round table of Arthurian legend.... then you have no excuse tbh. "It's not realistic" isn't a real excuse.

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.
