I'm not sure why she feels that that phrase is an attack on women, you'd have to ask her.
Of course. "Yes it talks like a duck, but we can't be sure if that's actually a quack or just a noise that happens to sound exactly like a duck."
I asked what has she said about trans people?
What do you think being upset about the phrase "people who menstruate" says about trans people? In what world does using the phrase "people who menstruate" instead of "women" harm women? It's a more precise term, because not all women actually menstruate. Prepubescent girls and post-menopausal women do not menstruate. Are they not women?
"That whistle is broken. Yes, everytime you blow it all the animals near by seem to react, but neither of us actually heard anything so clearly it's not a whistle."
