Lol. "Feminism is intersectional and inclusive." No, feminism is specifically focused on women and girls. If it wasn't, it would be called 'everybodyism." We need feminism that is just about women & girls because MISOGYNY is not inclusive & is solely directed at women and girls.
Feminism 'intersects' you'll find, mainly with big ticket power dynamics like socio-economic class and race. Feminism solely includes women. Not males who think they are or want to be women, as the issues are different. It's not difficult.
Feminism also isn't "I need to be everyone's mum and having needs of my own is bad" because being everyone's mum and women putting everyone's needs before their own is patriarchy in action, not feminism.
Should "Cancer Research" be forced to be inclusive of research on all other diseases? Does that make them 'exclusionary' or 'bigoted'? The Cat Protection League be inclusive of dogs? Are RNIB exclusionary if not inclusive of issues specifically caused by deafness?
I repeat. Misogyny is not 'inclusive'. No, transwomen do not experience misogyny. Misogyny is not directed at women because of our femininity. It is directed at us because of our SEX. Because we are the female ones and our 'natural role' in patriarchy is 2nd.
Not fitting into or struggling, as a male, with the rigid strictures of what masculinity is meant to be in society is absolutely a problem, but it's not the same as being born female. Advocate for yourselves, but don't demand we all agree that your issues are the same as ours.
Oh, and finally, if you think that 2nd Wave feminists or those that are critical of 'gender theory' are people who support gender stereotypes, boxes and roles, you are utterly clueless about feminism and have been, most likely deliberately, misinformed and miseducated.
