Even if there did exist words in the English language to define it without generalization, you'd still run into the problem of much of it being arbitrary.
Virtually any logical justification you can concoct for putting an intersex person in one box or the other can be used to justify putting trans women into the "woman" box. They have simply arbitrarily stipulated that trans women do not belong in the "woman" box and are working backwards from that conclusion.
Seriously, ask one of these chucklefucks how they'd define a person born with XY Chromosomes that has Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome? They short circuit and default to some variation of "that doesn't matter."
Because it's arbitrarily been decided that we're the exception to the "normal" gender construct that needs to be policed, Other exceptions that make that inconvenient can just as arbitrarily be ignored.
