They exist of course. but they are not women. The UK Equality Act defines woman as a female. They are not. I am not being the extremist here. I am quoting the law.
The problem w "just be kind" & call men women if they want to be is that (1)its illogical - do we not still need a word for the people with female biology? (instead of rebrandng that mysterious nameless group "ciswomen, transmen and some non binary people, or cervix havers etc)..

And (2) if you've redefined the groups you can't withdraw the concept when it hurts the people formerly known as women. Eg women forced to call her attacker "she" in court, women in prison forced to share space w a rapist "her" penis, girls losing sports scholarship to males
