You are saying that philosophers should not be so concerned about philosophy because there are bigger problems in society. But they are philosophers. Of course they are concerned about philosophy. Beetle scientists are concerned with beetle academia. Why the scare quotes around "philosophers"? They are university academics in the field of philosophy. The question of "what is a woman" seems to be obviously the sort of question that a philosopher should be engaging with. If you don't want to hear their thoughts on that don't read their journals, but to declare the question out of bounds seems like a fundamental misunderstanding of what philosophy is. Other statements that are obviously philosophical include: "Sex and gender are two different things" "Gender is a spectrum" "Sex is a spectrum" "A person can change their sex" And I am not persuaded by the argument that people's free speech is not violated if their career is merely ruined, but they are not put in prison. You can be sure that the blacklisting of Colin Kaepernick sent a clear message to every black NFL player that they were not free to share their support for BLM. :-(
