Otoh, some women use this while referring to other women, e.g. "us females need to stick together!" - in a totally positive and inclusive manner (or what looks like that, from me on the outside - i.e. not using language in such manner myself, for either men or women).

So maybe instead of a red flag it's more like an orange one? VERY noteworthy, but not enough on its own to justify cutting off contact with someone, whereas for an actual red flag you would... right?

I can't remember how many times I've heard women refer to "males" but if we call them females that's offensive?

Say they're raising a flag, raises a sail instead.

Being imprecise while accusing someone else of being imprecise, where have I heard of such an occurrence before? :-P

(/s, bc it's meant in a humorous rather than serious manner)

These very same people would have no problem calling women 'people that birth'.

It really is just an anti-trans thing.

Nah, it was a thing for weird dudes well before trans rights entered the public consciousness.
