Don't pretend their gender critical either. That makes it sound like they're intellectuals when they really aren't. Call them what they are. Anti trans. There's no simpler way of explaining their malfunction.

I don't think 'gender-critical' sounds particularly intellectual. They just don't believe in gender identity other than as an oppressive construct. They are certainly anti-trans acceptance as the identity with which they identify but will argue they support gender-critical trans

It also shifts the issue from being a out sex dysphoria and sex identity to being about gender as a social construct. I'm gender critical in the latter respect - expecting women to wear heels is bullshit. This doesn't mean I think trans isn't a real problem though.

And they support that "gender critical" trans advocate for everything they want them to and essentially become patsies to their ideology. It's not really supporting the trans person at all. Just using a useful idiot. Tbh.

Yes but its the reason 'anti-trans' will be disputed tediously.

They view those trans people as the sex they were born. Calling trans women men and calling trans men women is not supporting trans people. Neither is supporting a single trans person who agrees with their anti trans rhetoric. Let them argue against it. Idc. It changes nothing.

I agree with you. But it's still what they respond.

"I have black friends" doesn't make someone not a racist either. Nor does reframing it as "race realism".

I'm not sure how this relates. I don't agree with them.

I'm aware? I'm just saying. The same way we don't let racists define themselves as intellectuals via terms like "race realist" we also shouldn't do the same for anti trans. I'm making an argument as to why you shouldn't say gender critical?

Yes, OK, and I have said why I don't think it's an intellectual term & why I think it's more accurate than anti-trans. We'll have to agree to disagree.
