@SecondUniverse oops, you were still adding to this thread, I hope I didn't derail. Maybe I should have quooted.
And agree, it would be so cool if people just said "cis women" when they meant "cis women" etc.

The pseudoscience term "biological woman" is everywhere in mainstream media now.@SecondUniverse unrelated but related, I find the convention using female as an adjective to refer to women (ex "female airline pilots" or "female characters") absolutely bizarre.
If the context is research on the health effects of aviation on people who menstruate or something, they need to define that, as in any case only some females (Ferengi emoji) temporarily do that.
But "women airline pilots" strikes people as clunky or maybe uneducated.
TL;DR I'm normalizing "women" as an adjective
