Transgender effect on women

Does the acceptance of transgenders ever benefit women?
Transgenders in women's sports? Definitely not.

Inclusive language that only encroaches on women?

In June Cancer Research UK, a charity, tweeted: “Cervical screening (or the smear test) is relevant for everyone aged 25-64 with a cervix.” The odd phrasing—“everyone with a cervix” rather than “women”—was not accidental. The charity explained that it had deliberately chosen to use what it described as “inclusive language”.
...
It is notable that Cancer Research UK did not test its “inclusive” approach with a male-specific cancer. Its campaign messages about prostate and testicular cancer address “men”, rather than “everyone with a prostate” or “everyone with testicles”. (Addressing “people with a cervix” is, of course, only inclusive of people who know they have a cervix. Many women do not have that detailed knowledge of their internal anatomy. And those who speak English as a second language may well not know the word.) While organisations in the women’s sector have revised their language to avoid the word “women”, male-specific charities such as CALM (the Campaign against Living Miserably, a movement against male suicide) continue to refer uncomplicatedly to “men”. Women’s groups are aggressively picketed for being exclusionary; men’s clubs are left unmolested.

What about the cultural standard of beauty?
For example, here's an ad running right now:

Although obvious in this example, does the increasing prevalence of transgenders depicted alongside actual women make people scrutinize the femininity of women, at least on TV, more?
Could what might have once been "well, she's kinda plain/handsome, but not objectionable" become "she might be a dude"?
Could the standards of femininity be on the rise simple because guys don't want to accidentally end up kissing a dude?

Perhaps it will be an interesting competitive friction between "real" and "faux", especially as the ideological dissonance or these potential inner conflicts in the overall social justice sphere increase.

Should Caucasian masculinity become more and more unpopular (and that's probably yet a big "if"), then a percentage of men might exploit their decline in status by joining the ranks of woman-hood. Seems doubtful if going purely by the lack of a significant exodus of females going tranny back in the latter half of the 20th century, when maleness still had a solid reign or stranglehold (advantages, benefits). But then that was also an era when gender-crossing was also still widely disparaged as bizarre.

In this new century, if sexual mimicry becomes more and more pervasive in Western culture (via socially acceptability)[*], one might wonder if some of the motivations for it in the animal world could likewise emerge for people. Would "sneaky copulation", for instance, even be necessary for struggling human males, much less realizable / fruitful? Maybe for rapists, but in their case it would still potentially qualify as short-term "disguise" rather than a prolonged lifestyle / appearance switch.

[*] It seems a growing trend in some fictional television programming for a character's sexual orientation to not even be mentioned anymore when they surprisingly hookup with whoever. As if the end goal is now to make all such classification obsolete (i.e., everyone regarded as pansexual to some degree), with the past appeals to "being born _X_ and strictly adhering to _X_" no longer politically relevant or needed as defense. If that similarly starts applying to transsexual modifications and lifestyles, then likewise men or women could be opportunistically changing gender via at least the easier, non-surgical transvestite context. (The quick, surgical transformations routinely taking place in John Varley's Steel Beach are surely much farther in the future, if ever possible with cyborganic bodies.)

Considering the most egalitarian cultures, like the Scandinavian countries, also have the greatest expression of gender differences, I highly doubt that masculinity is going away.

Whoa, sexual mimicry as a ploy for rapists would be the realization of the worst fears involving bathrooms, locker rooms, etc.. But why wouldn't a serial rapist adopt it as a continual disguise? Certainly a serial rapist is pathological enough.

It's the transgender activists who make the argument of "being born _X_ and strictly adhering to _X_", in direct opposition to feminist dogma.

this is religous brain washing to think this as a process of normalisation of cause and effect outcome.

No one said it was actually happening, but feel free to keep jumping at imaginary boogeymen.

Abusive wives and lesbian batterers don't pretend to be anything other than they are either. And?

1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have been victims of [some form of] physical violence by an intimate partner within their lifetime.
1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men have been victims of severe physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime.
Almost half of female (46.7%) and male (44.9%) victims of rape in the United States were raped by an acquaintance. Of these, 45.4% of female rape victims and 29% of male rape victims were raped by an intimate partner.

About 17-45% of lesbians report having been the victim of a least one act of physical violence perpetrated by a lesbian partner.
...
Violence appears to be about as common among lesbian couples as among heterosexual couples.
