I hate to beat a dead horse, but she’s simply stating the obvious. A man who surgically transitions into being a woman may socially be a woman, but from a biological standpoint, is not and won’t be the same. An M-to-F person still isn’t going to undergo menstruation, pregnancy or childbirth. The bone structure, muscles, are still that of the male body. There are a dozen different things that \*\*ciswomen \*\*experience that an M-to-F won’t have, or wouldn’t have, experienced.
