The training seems based on motivated reasoning to justify this:
Some males want to use female only facilities.
Their wishes are all that matters
Women who want privacy & security are bigots

A moment's thought or a well placed Q could demolish this.
The exceptions are used *whenever* single sex facilities are provided
You can't bar people from boardrooms, pubs, libraries, professions etc on the basis of sex

And you don't have to do this on a discretionary one-by-one basis asking each potential user 20 questions to work if the are male or female.
You do it by setting a policy (a rule or PCP as the lawyers say) and communicating it to all.
