Someone doesn't even need to have undergone sex reassignment surgery for their legal status of male/female to be changed (depending on their circumstances). There's a lot more to it than just biology, and that's recognised by law, so I don't understand how it can be stated as fact that 'she isn't a woman'.

To some yes.

But many still class gender and actual sex as two different things. I am one of those people.

Society's attitudes may have changed, or most of society may not know about what exactly is a 'woman' these days according to the current narrative. I didn't until recently. I suspect its a large amount of the latter rather than the former.

Edited to add. I still think trans people should have equal rights and such. I simply do not agree with the notion of anyone can be anyone they want simply by thinking it.
