Conflating men & male (within the category human) is not hateful. Its the definition in the Equality Act. It might be less than friendly to call someone who doesn't want to be called a man, a man. But conflating less-than-friendly w hateful is part of the bad argument.
Yes I can see that for philosophical discussion, if you've defined terms differently. But you seem to be in danger of saying that it would be hateful to state that being an adult human male is necessary & sufficient for being a man? (which in law & everyday life it is)

It seems to be that this happened: 1. Genderists argue that woman =/= female adult 2. Genderists say since woman =/= female adult, male ppl can be women 3. Genderists say since to most ppl woman = female adult, now we must refer to 'women' (whether male or female) as female.

I mean, *they're* the ones that said man =/= male, so they can hardly now attack GC feminists for taking them at their word.
