I am actually saying similar phrase time to time about my friends (35-45+ years old, 15-20+ after transition, all married, all "old school transsexuals" post-op). And they are very upset with TWAW, because they were fighting for Trans rights, and now trans rights are being disregarded to be "women" rights instead, and real women rights are now pushed aside. It is almost like everything we with them together were fighting for Lesbians/Gay/Bisexual/Transsexual is now considered as "a bad thing" and slowly being erased for a new "gender ideology" that is nothing less than "patriarchical gender stereotypes on how and who must behave". However, most trans-gender people I know are actually just AGP (at least almost certainly, due to their behaviour and words) or "running from being gay in homophobic society".

However, in many cases in discussions similar things are said in a similar way as "women sometimes beting men too". This can and should be disregarded. The fact that there one women beating husband per hundred of thousands men who are applying domestic violence means just nothing. It is not systematic, it just "happens sometimes", while other way happens all the time and is accepted by society as a norm.

And same here. Just because there are sane trans-people does not mean that AGP is not a problem anymore, does not mean that Self-ID laws are extremely abusable in their current implementation, does not meant that fight for women rights should be stopped. If some are not predators - it does not mean that the rest aren't.
