Theo, cis states that gender identity takes priority over biological sex, that is the conflict at stake regardless of your pontification around sex and gender. What defines Man and Woman.

Others have responded with the same point but using cis and trans woman as a label priorities gender identity over biological sex. A trans women is a woman because they have a female gender identity, they are a kind of woman. If biological sex were prioritized the same person would be a trans man, a man that is trans in appearance, or has a female gender identity, if you believe in such things (I don't). Trans man, emphasizing biology, is of course confusing for people who are adjusted to current usage, so trans-identified man is what we should use, as it respects reality.
