Troons turning "women are other things that just birthing machines" into "birth is irrelevant to womanhood" is part of the fucked up post-modernism we live in. You don't have to be some sort of radical feminazi misandrist to think that society should consider more than just male perspectives in terms of how it plans itself, or that women can be more than just wives and mothers. But 51% of the human population has almost every aspect of the biology evolved for or affected by the fact that they will carry children, something that is fundamentally required for humanity as a whole to continue existing. Trying to shear away womanhood from that reality if fucking perverse, and really could only come from a fucked-up coombrained man. Womanhood and motherhood are inextricably linked. Even women who are unable to have children are affected and judged by that, as are women who choose to terminate pregnancies. It's pretty amazingly misogynistic when you realize that troons are essentially making it impossible for a majority of humanity to advocate for themselves without twisting into linguistic pretzels.
I think this is key. The troon movement might not have done so deliberately (or it might have, who knows) but in practice it has made any advocating or organizing or consciousness-raising among women almost impossible because they literally can't define themselves as a group anymore. They must always keep one eye on the metaphorical door to make sure no males barge in and accuse them of committing genocide by using the wrong language or focusing too much on the wrong thing.
It's not just that all the fiddling with language and definition drains time and energy (although it does), it literally makes describing one's group and their needs impossible, because the group has become meaningless. Plus, the boundaries can always change on a whim (the whim of males, that is). You couldn't have designed a better men's rights movement.
