Objecting to a word that just means "not trans" is the dumbest thing ever. She should probably just have been told to stop wasting everybody's time but, whatever, I won't weep for her any more than I'd weep for anyone who objects to having to stop calling people "darkies".
Uh, you're the one who thinks you get to decide that transwomen aren't women purely because they don't like you. If I were arbitrating, I would say that you're probably not actually a woman, because you seem like a 4chan incel's idea of an angry radfemmer.

No, did you or did you not say that person probably wasn’t trans? And does that accord with the dogma that “a woman is a person who identifies as a woman?”.
-
Sincerity matters. You appear to evade this issue whenever I mention it. Is it problematic for you to distinguish between someone who sincerely identifies a woman, and someone who is faking it?
-
It’s problematic to make laws and policy which rely purely on people being sincere, without any objective measure of what they are reporting, and this is a useful example of that absurdity. I really don’t see what is so difficult to understand about that?
-
I don't not understand; I just think you're wrong. Judging whether someone is sincere or not is common in law and policy. It would be impossible to try sexual assault cases if people were not able to judge whether the victim or the accused is more likely to be lying.
-
Is this for real? That is the exact reason why cases with no objective evidence rarely get charged.
-
And besides the whole trans campaign literally pushes for no test of sincerity
-
Transpeople's sincerity is absolutely tested. They are expected to prove their sincerity in order to have access to treatment. As a cis male, I have never been asked to prove that I believe myself to be male, ever.
-
Ah, you’re a man. That explains why you don’t care about women. Thanks then.
