Really? So if a gym had a general rule admitting both men and women except for Thursday night which is women only, does the Thursday night exception invalidate the general rule admitting both sexes into the club? Or does the general rule still remain? I think anyone with half a brain can see that exceptions do not invalidate general rules, rather the exception proves the rule!
Well there don't check if you were formerly male or genetically male, that have to take face value and what gender it says on your ID or membership card and they would know that they were obviously male.
