You're happy to use the word T* to describe fellow women whose only crime is having a different opinion to you? (Don't want to get deleted so not using the word in full!)

I have a couple of very right on vocal feminists on my Facebook page who amongst the usual libfem stuff they post there are various trans supportive posts which refer to t*s. They know exactly what it means and that gender critical women find it offensive and they have said to me that's why they do it.

They're very proud of their self-identified status as feminists but can they really be feminists if they actively and deliberately use a word which is being used to demonise and attack other women?

There’s never going to be total agreement as to what defines a feminist so I would say yes, which isn’t to say I agree with it.
