butch, femme, straight, queer, artistic, conservative, sporty, aggressive...those are different ways of being a woman. yes.
but transwoman and non-trans woman? those are not two different ways of being a woman. your sex is your sex. period.

Yes Betenoire, I am perfectly clear on all of that.
People keep talking about man in these discussions when I think they are really talking about male.
Man and woman are gender. Male and female are biological sex.
Edit: actually I think of woman as gender, so I don't agree with the first part of what you said. Female is biological sex, woman is gender.
