Major fallacies here.
The legal definition of adult isn't "whoever is 18 is an adult, this is false and abitrary but you have to accept it, a 19 year old person with severe mental impairment is an adult". Also, it's based on objective criteria, not just a decree.

On the other hand, the legal definition of man and women that trans activists are pushing for is to remove any and all objective criteria. Even the requirement for physical transition they consider transphobic.
So the legal definition of man/woman under this framework would be "whoever decides to be a man/woman".
What is the purpose of this?
For male to female trans people to get access to female-only spaces.
Is this a hill you're willing to die on?

For the sake of politeness I will call man or woman whoever wants to be so. But I will also be respectful of the need of females (women by birth, or cis women) to have their spaces.
So no you can't go to their toilets or their prisons or compete in their sports.
Period.

Now you're going to say, OK but in male spaces we'll get oppressed.
OK then. Build a third toilet, a third prison, a third category of sports.
Don't go steal the cis women's.
You don't have the same muscle mass etc. You make them feel unsafe. Respect that.

Also you can't both say "saying we will act badly in women's spaces is bigotry, so cis women have nothing to fear" and also refuse to go into men's spaces for fear cis men will act badly against you.
Your fear is legitimate even if 99.9% of men will behave. So is the cis women's

In the issue of sports, it's not even a matter of behavior, you have a difference from birth, aka exposure to large doses of testosterone, mostly in the teenage years but even from the womb.
This makes you unfit to compete in the cis women's categories in most sports.

If the sport has a significant difference between the male and female record, then you have to create a third category.
Sport categories are based on biology (weight, sex, age) not gender.
Trans people are welcome in competitive sports, in their own category.
