I don't think I'd like to be referred to as a "penis haver" or something especially by TRAs in the name of "inclusivity" but as others have said the context is completely different. Men do not need our own spaces for safety and there isn't a wider campaign to colonize men's spaces and erase reference to men in language and law. So sure someone in isolation referring to "people with prostates" is no big deal but it's different for women right now.

What if there was a wider campaign to colonize men's spaces and erase references to men in language?

I think this kind of language would bother me a lot more personally if I thought it was part of a wider campaign the way it is with women right now.
