Through Autogynephilia (a fetish, not a feeling): https://www.peaktrans.org/autogynephilia/

Or Gender Dysphoria (a psychological disorder, not a feeling): https://www.feministcurrent.com/2019/12/12/whats-current-former-staff-say-nhs-is-over-diagnosing-children-with-gender-dysphoria/

Or straight-up imagination, social contagion, role-playing, suggestibility, or delusion (not feelings).

Because, as you said, they're not biologically women, so by definition they can't know what being a woman feels like. And it's doubtful that there's some kind of universal "innate feeling" of being a woman. "Female" is a biological reality. There's all kinds of socially constructed gender baggage that goes along with that biological reality, depending on culture, but again -- there's no monolithic "feeling" of being a woman.
