Female colleagues should never be expected to share changing facilities with male colleagues regardless of how they identify. It's wrong, and unlawful.

Is it bad legal advice?
And not before time.
The rule is that female spaces are for females only. Any male who doesn't want to use the men's space could make alternative arrangements that don't undermine the rights of women who, after all, are not responsible for the men's space being unappealing.
I suspect what she meant was that if a male who genuinely 'passes' is in a female space, the women there likely won't know it. That's not the same as not caring, and it doesn't make it OK.
After all, *he* knows.

It's almost as if it's just an excuse to be a bit of a bigot.
I stopped subbing the Guardian because of its ignorant cruelty twds bewildered children & modest, private women. Because of yr articles I'm trickling a little their way again.
