I think the tautological capture, as you term it, happens because the Overton Window of "debate that is allowed" is so narrow that anything that can escape that tautological loop is disqualified from consideration.
I think the broader issue at hand is what I call "weaponized compassion", where they've taken people's natural impulse to want to help others, and then used it to push an agenda that is actually harmful in the long term. It's a cultural trojan horse that abuses one's compassion. Lots of modern culture can be described via this mechanism.
We got so successful as a nation we wanted to help everyone. And that bubble of "everyone" now includes people who are being actively harmful, so it's causing self-destruction. We've lost appropriate boundaries for what behavior is ok and what isn't, because of so many cultural movements based around weaponized compassion.

I think I'm describing something different. I often find TRAs use these particular incidents to support the "science is settled" narrative. Yes that's a sort of Overton window but it's important to HR departments when they are faced with some anthropology society making statements like this so it loops.
