Okay. Then I ask again. If "man" and "woman" are solely biological categories, what words do refer to the social categories?

There is not such a thing. Trans natal males are still treated as males and trans natal females are still treated as females.

No they aren't (at least when passing, which for most is the goal) and they don't want to.

How many trans natal males are ready for doing most of the house chores and most of the child rising? How many are ready to put their needs aside and care for others? How many are ready to act nice? How many are ready to get their appearence scrutinized and criticized? How many are ready to get their opinions dismissed? How many are ready to get their bad experiences disbelieved? Because all of that is part of being treated as a woman.

If you think, that transgender women still get all the male privilege, why don't you try claiming to be a passing transgender woman when that male privilege would come in handy for you?

How many are ready to get their appearence scrutinized and criticized?

you think you think transgender women don't get their "their appearence scrutinized and criticized" ? Really? Hahhaha. If anything transgender women are under more scrutiny, due to the pressure to pass.

Edit:

How many are ready to get their opinions dismissed? How many are ready to get their bad experiences disbelieved?

Really? That's how you that works? They tell someone their opinions/their experiences, get dismissed/disbelieved - but once they state "oh, by the way, I'm a tr#nny" everyone suddenly believes them?

Do you know transwomen in real life or have you been at companies or in social groups with them? I just don’t know how you can believe these things. I feel like you don’t even have a basic understanding of sexism.
