Anybody who treats it as facetious is ignoring the bigger question.

Yes.
Here’s an example of something else trans activism is ill equipped to deal with.
If I said
“I am a woman. I’m here for my gender recognition certificate, I have lived according to this gender identity for my entire life. Here’s some examples:
1: I am a keen footballer, I play football every week and enjoy it
2: I keep my hair short, and occasionally have some facial hair
3: I don’t like wearing skirts and dresses - I tend to wear jeans and t-shirts
4: I’m attracted to women, and all my partners have been women
5: I’m physically strong, and work as a labourer
6. I don’t feel the need to physically transition - I am comfortable with my body and the fact that my body was assigned male at birth no longer causes me distress, as I’m confident that whatever my body looks like, I am a woman”
Then on what basis would any trans activist say that I wasn’t a woman?

No,
that is the argument as to why they are not female.
It is a very valid argument for why they are not female, but it is not a good argument as to why they are not a woman.

You are biologically male.
But come stay the night and I'll make you my woman.
Female - Sex
Woman - Gender

Sewomantics.
The trans activist in my imagination isn't as bogged down by technical/academic terminology as the trans activist in your imagination.

I suspect that many trans activists haven't given the subject *nearly* as much consideration as the good folk here have given it over tbe past few days.
The overwhelming post-social media trend seems to be people campaigning for things that they like the sound of, without actually considering what the outcome of those campaigns might be.
