"Mascu," "hétéra," there are normal words already for these people, you don't need labels to communicate disdain.

What do those mean?

Mascu is apparently r/feminisme slang for masculiniste, or Men's Rights Activist. It read as masculin to me, I thought they were calling the transwomen butch. I should have Googled that one earlier. Seems to be an equivalent to TRA, definitely pejorative.

Hétéra is the female version of hétéro, straight. They referred to the females counterprotesting with the transwomen as hétéras essentially as an insult- you think you're gay but you aren't. Definitely derogatory.

Huh? As far as I know, those terms are feminist, uh, quirks? Basically feminising every word (noues instead of nous for example, ect)

Some feminist hetero women call themselves hetera lol. It's not derogatory. I don't know in what context it was used but it just means "female heterosexual"

It's all feminist slang basically.

No idea how French works so I vote you two have to do a rock paper scissors on it.
