Yes, language evolves. However, first, this is not a natural evolution of the language, but a top-to-bottom change pushed by trans activists. And second, you cannot change the underlying reality of the sexes by playing word games. You may force everyone to lie by using your sexist definitions for man and woman, but guess what? Males who claim to be "women" are going to still be males from birth to death and, except for very rare cases, people are going to keep recognizing said males as the males they are. And likewise for females who identify as "men".

So, what does this authoritarian and sexist language change acomplish? Not hurting the feeling of people who identify as trans? Why should we prioritize your feeling over anything else? Why should women accept being defined as nothing more than a bunch of sexist stereotypes by males who say they are "women"? Why should we care not to hurt the feelings of said males when it's pretty clear they don't care at all about our feelings and safety?
