Biology and life experience of being treated as a woman because of that biology is what makes a woman a woman and a man a man imo.

Of course there are exclusions. There are hundreds of differences, that is one of the main ones. Women and transwomen tend to be more verbal than men and transmen on average, because women and transwomen have verbal hemispheres on both sides of the brain, and men and transmen do not. That is not to say that every woman and transwoman uses it very often, but it is there. It exists.
Ie: Gav uses the little he does have excellently, and you use yours less despite having more scattered around your brain (assuming youre both cis).
You can disagree with this undeniable difference if you want, but your refusal to acknowledge these differences are literally scaffolding your less-than-positive reviews of transpeople, and thats a shame.
