Do you really expect me to say 'Oh, some trans activists are awful? Now I see that gender is a cultural construct and women are an oppressed class under patriarchy." I am a liberal. This means I oppose illiberal people. That includes authoritarian trans activists & mad radfems.
Or just let people decide whether to categorize by sex or by the other person's gender identity? You'd probably do the former and I the latter.

Well this is still saying that there would be no objective, agreed-upon definition for men and women. So what use would the terms be at all? They could be discarded and only biological sex differentiated.

How could they? This would require expecting people who are happy to call someone the gender they feel they are because it makes them feel recognised and doesn't harm them at all, to not do that. I'd oppose this as strongly as forcing ppl to use pronouns they don't believe in.

Whilst we may well know one day what makes trans people trans, we will probably never agree on what gender is and how men and women should be categorized. Then it comes down to accepting that people have the right to differ on this and leaving them alone.
