I think an important consequence of the rule ‘biological women only’ is that males who may surreptitiously enter these spaces will not be able to easily engage in the behaviour that is most likely to make women uncomfortable - that is, explicitly reveal their maleness. It would be enforceable to ask a male person who is naked in the change room to leave, whereas it would be impossible to do this if the rule did not exist. So the behaviour that makes women the most uncomfortable (the open display of male genitals) would be extremely difficult to engage in.

The response "we can always tell" is a result of emotional dysregulation. It's meant to serve as an insult rather than address a problem.
