Is the operative word here "willing" in the sense a business or organization has a choice to treat a trans woman as identical to a real woman. e.g. putting up a sign to the effect that we respect trans women here and your young daughter may see a penis if you choose to enter our facilities.

I was actually trying to distinguish between different government jurisdictions - those were the "places" I was thinking of when I wrote that. California is willing to adopt anti-discrimination laws that require equal treatment of trans people. Florida is not (and indeed has taken some steps in the other direction).

So in jurisdictions that are willing to adopt protections against anti-trans discrimination, those jurisdictions are generally willing to have extend those protections to give trans men and women the right to enter bathrooms matching their identity. The reason they don't carve bathrooms out of those anti-discrimination protections is because there's no clear or compelling reason to do so.
