Went to a Germaine Greer lecture years ago. She was promoting her book "about a boy", it was about art celebrating the beauty of young male body.
Her point was that women should reclaim the appreciation of fit males from gay men.
She also touched on trans issues, needless to say, she was very critical.
Had a word with her afterwards, her hostility or maybe suspicion of gays and trans was clear.
It is what it is. I can understand why women can feel suspicious and uneasy. After all, men have dominated their gender for, like, ever and things like drag queens, trans etc can be seen as invading their only safe space, their womanhood. And it doesn't matter that some of us may think trans progress is not a threat to womanhood.
If women, some or majority, feel this way, it has to be accepted and addressed. The bottome line is we can't have sexual progress at the real or perceived expense of women.
Both genders, but women in particular, need to be okay with whatever is done is that area. Imho.
