I have to admit, I had to re-read your response several times to comprehend your points properly.
No slight intended to you; this subject has always been difficult for me to parse correctly and, in turn, respond with any thoughtful or logical relevance. My expression of thought tends to be more clumsy than I would like to admit.
After some consideration of your reply, I think the answer to my question is that TERF position suffers from both of the fallacies I listed in my original supposition, and probably many more that I’m not recalling or aware of.
Considering your two following statements:

Daly was a wacky Catholic theologian who turned God into a mom, and decided that women were just special magical spiritual beings. This devotion to some kind of divine womanhood is common among the lesbian separatist types
…would it be safe to conclude that TERFs do (in a way) oppose the “maleness” of the Y chromosome as an affront to the purity of their “feminity”?

I wonder: does she admit to identifying with or publicly support the Tories, Nigel Farage and/or other “Brexiteers”, or other conservative personalities and politicians within the UK?

I suppose I should just look it up, but I thought I’d ask.
