No, they're not. She is not a woman in the most strictly biological traditional meaning of the word that Pyr brought up, we know that. But she is female and if you're not an asshole seeking to deliberately cause her pain, you won't be pointing that out to her all the goddamned time.
Why are you so bothered by this?
Quote:IF a transgender woman is fully and completely to be considered a woman, then why would there need to be any disclosure? The reality is that this is a man who is taking steps to be more womanly, but will never be one in the way that other women are, because of the physical reality of her situation.
Help me out here man, what is your point? That she is not the same as cisgender women? I already said she isn't and nobody is pretending she can give birth or something.
