So, on using the word "female" to refer to women. Just finished a meeting with a (woman/female) coworker, brought up the use of female in one of our forms (we were filling a project proposal submission doc, and there was a question on the sex/gener of the team composition with male/female headings). Mentioned the point about avoiding the use of female to refer to women and she said something along the lines of "not yielding another perfectly valid term to a bunch of incel morons, time to reclaim our language from stupidity, those people will always pick something, stop giving them breathing space".

Trans women are women and should compete in women's sports. Gatekeeping based off arbitrary biological factors hurts cis and trans women alike. I've made this abundantly clear over the dozens of posts I made about the subject. And the point here is that because people insist on an arbitrarily gendered society, these conflicts are inevitable.

If you want to say you don't care, then fine. But don't moralize "it works fine for me and I don't care about those for whom it doesn't work" into "therefore it's a good system".
