The few conversations I have had about this suggests that the women who are into this truly and really believe two things:

  1. Women's rights have been fully achieved already, and

  2. trans people are so marginalized, oppressed and tortured that we must be kind to them, and we must include them always and everywhere even when that means centering them.

I think 1. applies to young women who don't have children yet and who might not be in the work force yet. 2. applies to older women, too, especially the ones who know someone who is trans, such as a family member.

I also suspect that one reason is the nonstop bombardment from the TRAs who keep complaining if the word 'woman' is used anywhere at all. The other side doesn't complain (I have started...)

This, essentially comes down to how one has to come to terms with the fact that things are not so good... so they run the other direction to prove its not so bad to everyone while being in denial.
