We are born with XX or XY that define our sexual identity for the rest of our life. No amount of surgery or hormones will ever change that, and only a woman has a womb and will ovulate. Transgenders seem to expect to be rewarded for being gender benders, but what they really deserve is a diagnosis. I found transgenders dont want to be pathologized, but they do want help, and treatment on demand, including surgery. My only pronouns are he, she, and it, unless I knew somebody really well. Their condition simply looks like a development disorder, and people like Shaleel Lal turn into bullies when they form a mob and have a target. They need to be shown some tough love by people meaner than them cos I for one wont put up with it.
You do a great job of concisely tying together major factors of sex-role ideology that many people don't realize, such as that this ideology obscures, lies about, and demonizes our bodies, and the science education the 2nd wave of feminism so helpfully taught women and that revolutionized sex, sexuality, and reproductive health care, including self-care.
Re: the mention of unclear language, it makes me almost hope that (TRA) Rachel Boyack's 'Plain Language' bill actually gets passed into law. Even with all it's pitfalls around the policing of language, which will probably be policed by university graduates with now cringe-worthy humanities degrees, it does mean that we could have a field day with the horribly unclear language being used around our sexed bodies and gender-identity ideology.

The children hungered for steak egg and chips. They were given candyfloss instead.
Another invaluable article. Thank you.
