She’s coming from a place of “trans bad” then finding an excuse for it (protecting women)
She wants to protect women. She thinks that trans women aren’t women. It doesn’t start out with “trans bad”. It starts out with “protecting women” + “woman is defined by sex”. That’s all there is to it. If you don’t like it, convince her that the gender-based definition is better.
The whole “people who menstruate” thing is peak idpol and designed to waste our time arguing about it instead of developing class consciousness. You’re part of the problem. If we spent half the time wasted on this guillotining the ruling class we’d live in a better world already where people who menstruate are materially better off in every way.

Stop focusing on her. Stop participating in the online hate mob that exists to distract from class issues. Do something useful with your life.
