Except all women's colleges arguably still serve a purpose. There is reasonable evidence that women learn better in an all woman environment.

You may ask how trans-"women" affect this. Well there isn't much data on the subject (and unlikely to be anytime soon given how reluctant people are to research politically incorrect topics). However, given how any m-to-f transsexuals appear to be masculine men with an autogynephilia fetish, my guess would be they are effectively men for this purpose.

I don't know. My wife / former GFs said me they tend to prefer mixed working environments, they told me all-female environments get too filled with all kinds of back-stabby intrigue "she said that she said that you said that I said" and guys dampen that.

That's a misrepresentation of both Bailey and Sailer; Bailey claims that most MtFs cluster into either "started out gay" or "started out straight," with the first group transitioning early in life (high school, college, etc.) and the second group transitioning late in life (typically after married with children). Thus, the sort of MtF that will go to a woman's college is disproportionately likely to be romantically interested in men / have a more feminine personality.

It is unlikely to stay that way now that incentives have changes, in particular, I expect a lot of "heterosexual male who wants to enter the women's bathroom" type "transsexuals".

Why? This runs very strongly against my experience.
