I really don't like that apparently "biological women" is being adopted to mean "cis women". I'm also biologically a woman, at least in part. My main sex hormone is estrogen and my testosterone is so low you cannot even measure it. So it would plainly be false to call me a "biological man". Just call me a trans woman and those that you call "biological women" cis women. Otherwise this feels like we are adopting terf terminology :(

Also, "woman" is a gender category and therefore based in social conventions, not biology.
