You have reached the core feature of the Left/Marxist/woke modus operandi.
It isn't about winning the argument, or coming up with solutions to problems,. it is about *changing the agenda* so that instead of talking about how to have clean water by investing in sewage treatment we are all talking about whether 'women with penises' are being 'oppressed by society'.
And the terrifying thing is that people actually take this seriously. Because a succession of left wing movements have placed people in power whose mandate is not a functional secure society with resilient infrastructure, but a theocracy based on the Marxist metaphysics of 'soshul justiss' 'sustainability' 'equality' etc etc.
Bollocks to equality.
I hold it as self evidently true that all men are *not* created equal, and anyone who thinks they are  or says they are is a either a moron or a charlatan, and if they were it would destroy civilization, as we would all be telephone sanitzers. And no one would be left tor write the next generation of buggy secure over complex GUIs...
The reason for equality *under the law* is not because its morally just, but because its simpler and it works.
We don't have to delve into moral quagmire  of why someone raped or murdered. They did, and they thereby destabilised society, so they need to be removed from it.
  Its that simple
