"I am a heterosexual woman, who has been menaced far more in my lifetime by heterosexual men"
Yes, I think this is almost every woman's experience. There are, after all, orders of magnitude more men than trans women. So the law of averages demands that you'd have more negative experiences with men. The issue is a certain class of men being allowed into women's spaces on nothing more than the honour system.
I'm a person first too. I've never behaved inappropriately towards a woman and I never would. I'm kind to animals and give money to charity. I'm still not welcome in women's spaces. And I understand completely why. As I've said many times, the fact that males are asked to stay out of certain female spaces is not discrimination. And while I think that trans women mean we need more nuance than in the case of someone like me, the issue here is the very deliberate attempt to remove all of that nuance.
