Honest question, do you *really* need a study for everything to know if it's true or not?
I can listen to women when they tell me they feel uncomfortable with a biological male is in the restroom with them.
I can use my mind and realise, "Yeah, if you allow any man who presents as a woman to enter into a bathroom, you have just provided a mechanism for sexual predators to enter into a bathroom without drawing attention and commit a crime."
We have "segregated" bathrooms, generally intended for families to change baby diapers and for the disabled. Just use those.
Human traffickers (whom I hadn't given much thought of in the equation before now) and predators both would be licking their lips over that prospect.

Just to be clear, you are arguing that transgendered feelings are more important than women's feelings?
I find it difficult to believe women speak to you...at least not more than once.
As a woman, I have NEVER had a conversation with anyone regarding the safety of a public bathroom.
Now mostly, we agree that Buc-ees has some of the cleanest bathrooms on earth but all this jibber jabber about safe bathrooms is happening in your head.
I'm your huckleberry.
