My feminist best friend, a biology teacher, said trans men are women

Had a conversation a few weeks ago around feminism and womens rights and my friend, an A level Biology teacher, said categorically that trans men WERE women.

I was so shocked and upset I didn't feel like arguing, but what can I say as we'll almost certainly have the conversation again. We both have daughters and we were talking about the Girl Guiding trans leader.

"Trans men" is the name the gender identity proponents give to females, so yes, your friend is right. This is why plain English is essential!

Trans men are biologically female but identify as men.

Trans women are biologically male but identify as women.

Maybe just a misunderstanding?

Transmen are women. They are biological females who have adopted traditionally male clothing, names etc.

Transwomen are biological men who have adopted the opposite.
