In future I'd advise using the term cis woman instead of biological woman because biological woman has a history of being used as a transphobic term by TERFs to delegitimise trans people, especially in the UK.

Yeah, I wasn't sure about how to differentiate it. English is not my natural language.

I disagree about using "cis" in this context though. I wasn't sure how much of the effects are hormonal and if it is the same for trans men. And its also true for non binary and genderfluid persons. So cis seemed to exclude many.

I got curious and looked into it and there were some helpful comments too. It turns out it's mostly about the estrogen. So this means cis women, xx-chomosome non binary and gender fluid people (as long as they are not substituting hormons), trans women on estrogen and trans men who do not substitute testosterone.

So that would mean instead of "biological women" it would be "hormonal female" I guess, or what is the correct for that?
