I really don't like that apparently "biological women" is being adopted to mean "cis women". I'm also biologically a woman, at least in part. My main sex hormone is estrogen and my testosterone is so low you cannot even measure it. So it would plainly be false to call me a "biological man". Just call me a trans woman and those that you call "biological women" cis women. Otherwise this feels like we are adopting terf terminology :(

Came here to say this, the "biological man/woman" phrasing is so rooted in high school level biology

Know. They know about the android infiltration, and how agents are often assigned the wrong hardware.

Thats why so many transcwomen are so good at code.
