Good for them, with reasonable testing and precautions in the modern day there's no reason to prohibit them. They're no worse than swingers clubs
No reason to prohibit them until you go in one day and see Lindsay Graham with a straw.
Is there a (trans friendly) lesbian equivalent of bathhouses? (Asking for a friend)
Book stores?

Yeah, I'll just hang out next to the Judith butler with a vibrator.
I was going to say a Subaru dealership. :D
This was 25+ years ago for me when I lived in MPLS, but IIRC, there were lesbian bath houses, too (although not as many as ones for the guys), some that had "ladies' nights" and ones that had nights for trans people, too, depending on the bathhouse. sometimes it was more of a "mixed" night where everyone was welcome. a lot of bathhouses would do themed nights, one night for leather, one night for bdsm, that sort of thing. a trans night wasn't uncommon.
I wish I remembered more details, but it was a long time ago, and I did a lot more drugs back then, so my memory is a bit fuzzy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I remember those days. That was a lot of fun.
