"Would you be surprised to hear that UK law protects single-sex, safe spaces for women – but many businesses and organisations think it doesn’t?"

Many, many single-sex spaces & services now state that they are open to anyone who 'identifies as' the relevant sex.
'Women-only' or 'female-only' now includes men who choose to call themselves women and who wish to use e.g. youth hostel dorms, hospital wards, swimming pool changing rooms, women's refuges etc.
Resisters United suggests that if we are concerned about this, we could visit our MPs or write to them to ask for government guidance on how the Equality Act can be kept workable and how single-sex spaces can remain just that.
Guidance on points to make is available on their website, linked above.
(btw, theyworkforyou.com is a great website for contacting our representatives, and will tell you who your MP is, if you don't know.)
