I think what some people who are saying 'trans women aren't women' actually want is for meaningful gaps to be acknowledged. I do think that if you said "ok sure there are some differences" they would really lighten up and be way more open to actually supporting trans people.

IMO the analogy with biological/adoptive parents is good. 99% of the time you just call them "parents". There are situations where biological vs adoptive matters, but most of the time they're just "parents" for all intents and purposes. We don't have to be stingy with the term.
