How's this?:

Typically, women are of the female sex and inherit a pair of X chromosomes, one from each parent, and fertile women are capable of pregnancy and giving birth from puberty until menopause. More generally, sex differentiation of the female fetus is governed by the lack of a present, or functioning, SRY gene on either one of the respective sex chromosomes. Female anatomy is distinguished from male anatomy by the female reproductive system, which includes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and vulva. However, trans women have a gender identity that does not align with their sex assignment (assigned male at birth), while intersex women may have sex characteristics that do not fit typical notions of female biology.

So "trans women" are just confused men.

Perhaps.

I'm confused when reading the definition

"Gender identity" is a faith-based concept. If people want to believe in disembodied, synthetic sex identities, there's not a whole lot we can do to prevent it. Consenting adults should probably be allowed have their own associations or clubs where they all agree to use whatever pronouns they made up, and share whatever bathroom they want. But it's unscientific nonsense that has no place in laws or public schools, any more than astrology does.

I would think the gender identity claims are different for everyone who makes them.

I think anyone 18 or above can do whatever they want to themselves, as long as they don't harm others.

The biological argument is much more significant, however, as there are many people who are born with bodies that are - entirely or in part - both male and female. In that case, they have three options: assign themselves the biological sex with the greater percentage in their bodies; choose instead the oposite of this as an identity; or choose instead to be 'non-binary', to identify as two or more sexes.
