"I'm going to reply to the trans person under the premise that they don't understand sex and gender"

The sentiment of my comment was a lot deeper than "conflating sex and gender". The subtext was that single-sex wards where you are sorted by your AGAB are not trans (or intersex) inclusive, even if technically valid sorting criteria.

transgender people, whose gender identity differs from their biological sex, may be provided single rooms, where appropriate

So you consider "putting those weird other people in their own rooms away from the rest of us normals" to be inclusive? Its 1 step better than forcing them to be in a room full of people of the opposite gender, sure, but it sure as hell isn't inclusive. Anyway, this conversation is over a week stale, I don't care for it anymore. Have a nice life!
