Well I wouldn't say it makes you transphobic but it does make you literally incorrect in terms of the actual terminology.
Male and Female are biological descriptions of sex. Man and Woman are social constructions of gender.
A Trans-woman can be sociologically a woman (arguably, I'm not saying everyone agrees with this), and not a man, but will always be biologically male.
You have it the wrong way round. And that's not opinion or "Mansplaining" - that is the actual terminology of established gender theory going back several decades.
