| Pyro as Bill said: Trans women aren't women. That's why we use the trans-prefix Sorry (not sorry) if it's offensive but that's reality. |
Trans does not mean not. It's also not being used as a prefix, but short for transgender, which is an adjective (although it is a prefix within that adjective).

This argument makes as much sense as saying a transnational corporation is not a corporation or that an interstate railroad is not a railroad.
I don't feel qualified to speak on the biological aspect of this, but I actually do have a degree in English and am confident in saying this linguistic argument is incredibly dumb.
