I know about the TRA term being a TERF thing, I learned it through radfem spaces and it's just a useful descriptor.
Again you're also putting words in my mouth. To be more clear since, "I hate nazis and im a far-leftist" isn't clear enough. I hate proud boys and any of Trumps "protect women" bullshit, because it's not protecting women, it's just to punish trans and GNC people. They also definitely like gender, they just don't think you can change it. Conservatives also ban abortion and want to pass a bill that doesn't allow many married women to vote. Infinitely worse for women's rights.
Bro I have seen multiple TRAs saying that in response to some TERFs finding it miserable to be a woman because of oppression. Or saying we're just "trans men in denial". Maybe not on a large-scale, but that is what that type of thinking leads to. And no I'm not saying a significant amount of TERFs will transition because of that. Gender dysphoria is a bit like body dysmorphia, it's influenced by outside views of gender and gender roles, like body dysmorphia is influenced by beauty standards. It's not about male vs female brains. That's a sexist idea. Both are caused by patriarchal standards. Both standards are bad.
If bio sex in prison is unimportant, then why even segregate male and female prisons in the first place? The reason I care about prisons is because rape is already common. It's less about average transwomen, more about creeps like chris chan who would take advantage of it. I would say a post-op trans woman should be in the women's prison though.
I don't really worry much about transgender stuff though and women have bigger problems, especially now. However, I am gender critical/abolitionist because gender, even more so with cis people, is a way to keep women down. It's a set of stereotypes and roles, which disadvantages women as a whole, so yes I am against it. Perpetuating the idea that woman=femininity is harmful. It's a bit disappointing when progressive people want to perpetuate it and encourage it too, but I'm aware you aren't the only ones and conservatives are worse.
I don't think trans women are replacing women, that would be insane. Well, once with Dylan Mulvaney, but not as an aggregate. I just think that gender as a construct should be gone and there shouldn't be expectations for people based on their sex, or what sex they appear to be.
Honestly I've noticed that a lot of the anti-terf shit is like McCarthyism
Like the "if they talk about feminism a lot they're probably a TERF"
reminds me of the shit like "If they talk about workers rights they're probably a communist"
Like damn maybe kind of accurate but how is there no "are we the baddies" moment here?
Like seriously what is this shit bro? @oarfishingΒ https://www.tumblr.com/oarfishing/758650339125821440/alright-im-sick-of-seeing-terfisms-on-my-dash?source=share
A quick google of the biological definition of an human adult actually says the opposite that what you seem to think. If anyone views minors as adults its YOU. People aren't often fully grown biologically speaking until their 20s.
"The biological definition of an adult is generally considered to be reached when an individual has attained full physical and mental maturity, which typically happens around the age of 20 or 21. While some people may reach physical maturity earlier, such as by age 16, the prefrontal cortex, responsible for judgment and decision-making, continues to develop until the early to mid-20s."
Besides, say your first point was right for the sake of argument. Say somehow reproduction was the measuring stick for being a adult human biologically like it is for other animals with less complex mental development. A social construct around age that keeps the age of majority higher than that, is solely to protect people who can't consent and isn't oppressive one bit so it could not be compared to gender. The opposite would be oppressive. In fact the older social construct around age that considered reproductive ability as a measuring stick was not biologically accurate and used for treating female humans like cattle, disregarding mental state or even physical state outside of whatever a husband can get out of it. You know, when 13 year old girls were being forced to reproduce when they were neither mentally or physically ready.
However, gender as a social construct is to encourage women to be subservient to men and take certain roles. It existed as a way to organize society around property ownership after the development of agriculture. It doesn't help or protect anyone, and instead oppresses women, so it should be deconstructed.
Does this help?
Realisations in hindsight:
The next time someone tries the "what is a woman but an adult human female" copypasta with me, I am going to demand them to define the word "adult" without including arbitrary socially constructed numbers of age, and in a way that excludes all people who are socially agreed to be minors, and includes all people who are socially agreed to be adults.
Then, whatever they answer, I'm just going to accuse them of wanting to fuck children.
This is just another why I donβt support prostitution as an industry. When bodies are for sale, everything is on the table. One of the women interviewed said at first she thought a man cutting a large piece of her skin off was just a fetish.

Assembly language, various coding languages, and compilers were also invented by women!
Coding was also female-dominated in the start because men thought it wasn't worth much so they let women work on it. Oh... how wrong they were lmao
"women didn't invent anything"
Just remember. There is no such thing as a fake geek girl. There are only fake geek boys. Science fiction was invented by a woman.
men be like "if women are really that intelligent, why are all major discoveries made by men? π€" as if they didnβt quite literally burn women alive if they were smart back in the day
