My point is that if something is "different" , forcing others to label that thing as "not-different" isn't a productive battle. Others will just now need a new way to describe it, because to them, the original label is now meaningless in it's classic sense, to them.
For example we've gone from: (some male terms I apparently can't use anymore) to transwoman to ciswoman to biological woman.
And in every case the transwomen demands to be included in the "new" category, and everyone else has to come up with another term to differentiate.
