"Trans people exist" is an objective statement of fact (though some people would say it's just a "choice").
But also, "trans women are women" is normative, since it seeks to prescribe how trans people are treated by society.
Similarly, some people believe gender is subjective, and that people can "be" another gender if they feel like it (if I am getting this wrong lmk; it's obviously a simplistic statement of that position). Others believe the question is purely objective and determined by observable biology--i.e. "it's not subjective, and as a descriptive matter, you are x gender".
In contrast, "marriage is between a man and a woman" is basically purely normative. It is not a statement about what "is". It is a statement about what should be.
