The distinction is supposed to be that "biological facts" no longer include gender. Gender is now fluid psychological term, not a biological one. In other words, you said "advantages of a man" instead of "advantages of a genetic male", which is now wrong.

But apparently I'm incorrect in thinking that you're not supposed to discuss "trans women" as a group, which is still confusing to me.

Sure, gender is different from sex. The point stands. There are major biological differences between females and trans women. And there's nothing wrong with that. It's just a part of life. Pretending everyone is equal is just lying to yourself.

But of course, people should be treated equally (in most cases).

True, but you're not supposed to say trans women have biological traits of men, because trans men are also a thing, and they're still "men".

So really, trans women have biological traits of genetic males, which is fine.
