I can't read Portuguese but maybe I'll use a translator later when I'm at my desktop PC.
What I know about Brazil is that the trans rights movement has been an utter catastrophe for women's rights. Women get physically threatened, have their spaces vandalized, and face potential imprisonment if they speak out and openly identify males as males.
Following are some links. Attached are some photos of men involved in such cases, who have threatened and sued women.

As such, I suspect that cases of women being misidentified as men, and asked to leave women's spaces, are most likely a recent phenomenon that's caused not by bigotry, but by the fear that Brazilian women are now constantly subjected to. If men were not routinely allowed into female only spaces, women would presumably be less on edge, and less likely to question the presence of a woman who looks a bit like she might be a man.
