We shorten "website" into "site", "movie theater" into "theater"

Within this same train of thought, we DON'T shorten “sea lion” into “lion” or “air fryer” into “fryer” because the adjective is actually crucial in the definition of these terms.

Well those differences are inherently important. A lion is a completely different species than a sea lion. I think dropping "trans" in a social situation isn't going to make a difference in many cases, which btw is NOT what the left is advocating for because I'm saying it's fine to know who is a real woman and who isn't. Additionally I don't think it should be forced or encouraged, or punished at all. I'm just saying the problem isn't really what we call them but the underlying framework of reality.

The same way a trans woman is a completely different sex than a woman.

I'm just saying the problem isn't really what we call them but the underlying framework of reality.

And I'm saying that what we call them just makes the problem worse. The only way to fix it is to call them what they really are.
