I don't think you can ever get it "right" with these people partly because gender ideology is so irrational and self-contradictory that there is no "right," but mainly because being "brave" in the face of "oppression" is such an important part of the myth that it has to be maintained.
For example, the recent trans activist's accusation that the Guardian newspaper "regularly prints transphobic content," despite the Guardian falling over itself in its efforts to silence feminists and be "trans-affirmative" in all its reporting.
They can't admit that a mainstream broadsheet supports them unquestioningly while also claiming victim status.
Nobody , and I mean nobody can dictate how a sex class is referred to. There are 2 classes of humans. Any medical organization that is cow-towing to this ideology is catering to a religion and should stop. Same goes for news purveyors. You are correct that any bending over backwards is going to be unfruitful. Stick to the facts of life and you will not go wrong. Thank you for pointing this out!
Well and "women" is a sex class -- we're not talking about individuals, we're talking about women being targeted as a group. That's the definition of a class of people -- a group that all have something in common--for females, it's our sex. Sex-based oppression is unique to females; we have to identify how we're being oppressed in order to fight it. We're not oppressed on the basis of being "people", we're oppressed as females.
