At this point, you're just arguing about semantics. 'Skin colour' IS race and I see why she thought you were pulling race into it. Not necessarily how she overreacted, but I do think you introduced the topic first. As for 'womanhood', I suspect that's just how Eve defines it, and at least for the purpose of competitive sports, there's kind of an argument to be made for it. She may be worried about a 'slippery slope' here which is not unrealistic given that we're being told that guys like Lia Thomas is a 'woman' after a few hormone injections and a declaration, not to mention a widespread belief in the left that if that's how you 'feel', that's how you are (unless you 'feel' like you're another race, like Rachel Dolezal). Good article, and ironically I just read the Sports Illustrated story about Thomas (he's a him, let's face it) and how he seemed to be 'throwing' the occasional race to make himself look less of a rank pretender and a cheater. Your idea is a good one, I've been thinking for years that at this point, there are enough people declaring themselves trans that we should just create a third category for 'other'. Let the transwomen compete against each other, and the transmen the same. Everyone stays in competitive sports, women's sports remain protected, and the only people who lose are transwomen who weren't good enough to win medals when competing against men :)
