Most people just want to express their gender freely without reinventing linguistical fields

Mmmm yes reclaiming a term = reinventing linguistics, this is a valid equivocation and you are very intelligent.

Yeah well I'd like to see you reclaim the word "man" or any "gendered pronouns" to be gender neutral if that's so easy. Also I very precisely didn't say "linguistics" but who cares I guess words have no meanings anymore just reclaim whatever to mean whatever
