When you abolish what it means to be a woman, when you actually destroy that language, you destroy a woman's ability to talk about her rights as part of an actual class of people that are separate from men. After all, male-only spaces can exist pretty easily in society without the need for legislation. In male-only gyms, loud music and giant men punching each other will often encourage women to just self-exclude. But when you set something up for women, there will always be a demographic of men who immediately want to get involved. That's why we need legal protection for women's spaces, and it's also why language is so important. It's the ultimate weapon of trans activists, and we've got to take away their ammunition. Terms like 'transgender' or 'cisgender' obscure the fact that we are not talking about a subclass of women here. We're talking about men.
