high standards for natal women

It's ok to say "real women". All women/females are "natal" - there's no other way to become a woman/female.

It's just my way of distinguishing between transwomen and women. The word natal just reinforces the difference implying that one is natural while the other is not

The other one is not even a woman. So no need to specify beyond that: woman.

To me it would look odd if I wrote transwomen and then women e.g, transwomen are different from women. It's not that big of a deal, and someone already pointed it out to me. You get the point of what I was saying.
