I understand why you think that, but a belief that denies the full humanity of a group of people, especially a group already subject to ongoing violence and prejudice, is inherently disrespectful, no matter how politely you phrase your arguments.
I think biological sex isn’t binary and never was, that gender is more than bodies, and that you can’t construct any trans-exclusive yardstick for universal womanhood that doesn’t also exclude some cis women anyway.

We don't organise society by gender we organise by sex, ie someone's physical body. Without the consistency in the two different body types there is no need for any distinction at all. Not womanhood, women, it's different. Which 'cis' women are excluded from the defn of women?

Intersex people exist. Hormones and chromosomes are not clear cut. And depending on how you define womanhood, if you go just by bodies and what they do: women with no uterus or ovaries. Infertile women. Childless women. And so on.
