But, it is actually cool for women to recognize one another as grown up women.
BTW, I do not require your approval or any non female's approval on how to be respectful to other women. I am a feminist.
You suggesting it does not meet your approval is sexist. Women do not need your approval period.
Have a nice day.

Interesting. Thanks for the reply. I respectfully disagree with your mindset. However, i do understand how a woman can call another woman "woman" and that is socially acceptable among women.
I am fully aware that I don't have the perspective of a female.
I wasn't looking for your approval. Voicing my opinion on how
I find some behavior towards women to be disrespectful.
Suppose it is because there are different rules of engagement, societal norms, mores etc...for women among women and women among transmen. Makes sense. Even if it does seem patriarchical, sexist and hypocritical to me...if the behavior is between women i suppose it is acceptable behavior among women. I still disagree with that mindset.
