It's irrational to fear people identified as male at birth whose testosterone is suppressed
It's irrational to think that people that are defending sex-segregated places "fear" trans-women. No one "fears" trans people. What they are concerned about is trans "rights", which are not actually rights, eroding womens actual rights.
People correctly fear men, because men can be violent and some are exceedingly driven by sex. People assigned male at birth who have transitioned to female don't have the testosterone that cisgender men have, they don't have the violence, they don't have the overriding sex drive
The majority of trans women never transition medically, so even if that were true - which it isn't - it's a moot point. Testosterone isn't what causes violence or sex assaults. A leopard doesn't change their spots just because it starts calling itself a tiger.
