In my view, this is one of the key shortcomings of radical feminism, and explains why materialist and decolonial feminisms are the future, but that's neither here nor there.
The GCF blackpill is in some ways, a pseudofeminist sedative. If toxic male socialisation is ummutuable, there's no reason to expect anything more from your heterosexual relationship. The critique ends in interpersonal inaction and a lack of struggle for structural change.
The existence of trans people poses an existential threat to the GCF blackpill. Our lives demonstrate how unstable the concepts which uphold the GCF blackpill are. If "men can become women" and visa versa, what does that say about the mutability of male/female as categories?
The essentialised patriarchal male and his desire to possess women's bodies and spaces is a common trope in GCF. The argument that trans inclusion means that women's services will be invaded is a continuation of the essentialised male.
Not only are trans women essentially male, but non-trans males will use trans-inclusion policies to invade women's spaces, so goes the GCF. The GCF in their blackpilled state has no interest in deconstructing or being challenged on those tropes. A challenge is in fact, a threat
GCF is a result of a failure of many feminisms to offer visions of structural change. Essentialising males/females results in a world where almost half the population are permanent enemies.
All that can be done is to campaign in the areas where there's the most "harm" being done to women. And some of these areas (especially surround sex work) are areas where the "victimhood" that some feminists present is constantly being challenged by the women who need "saving".
I personally believe that materialist/socialist/Marxist and decolonial feminisms are the only route forward in escaping. Socialism offers concrete programmes for improving women's lives by analysing their relationships and relationships of (re)production and resources.
We don't just need to show GCF that they've been blackpilled, we need to show them a different vision. And as found as I am of postmodern feminisms to use as tools of analysis, they don't offer a vision for women that is convincing.
