That's only specifically exclusionary of transgender identified males then, not transgender people in general. So I don't see how "trans exclusionary" even makes sense. And why are transgender males entitled to be included in a movement advocating for females anyway?

It's the primary kind of transgender person that feminists are concerned with, though. Understandably, they're more concerned about whether a small group of non-women gets included with women, which is potentially harmful to all women, than whether a small group of women gets excluded from women, who brought that exclusion upon themselves by identifying as men.

They're not, but the reason that some people appear to disagree with you on that point is that they disagree that the people in question are men.

Indeed, transmen (females) are not excluded from it, so it is not trans exclusionary. Saying it is trans exclusionary means that person saying it is only cares about transwomen (males), so it is sort of misogyny.
