You have a way with words. Beautifully succinct:

They especially don't like it when you point out "transwomen are women" is only an accurate statement if you've redefined the word "woman" to be stripped of any meaningful concrete definition. The only way they manage to lay claim to the word "women" is by destroying the concept of "women."

If you want someone who really has a way with words, I would highly recommend the gender critical poetry of Irischild: https://irischild.blogspot.com/

That's fantastic. That Tran-I-Am poem reminds me of Arthur Miller's The Crucible. We could just replace the Salem Witch Trials with the Salem TERF Trials. The story re-writes itself pretty easily.

The funny thing is, and I didn't even notice it when I first read it, it seems to be a riff on Dr. Seuss' "Green Eggs and Ham". Menstruator, and other words that rhyme with 'hate her' is also a great one, there's a few live readings of her poetry on Youtube at women's conferences and such.
