There are many good reasons why one might want to refer to a person's biological sex in conversation.

For example:

"Why is that man being allowed to compete in a women's sporting event?"

"Why is that man flashing his penis in the women-only area of the nude spa?"

"Why is that man calling himself a lesbian and haranguing actual lesbians for not being sexually interested in him?"

And so on.

It's not transphobic to point out material biological reality.

This accusation gets thrown around far too easily these days; it's really losing its power. A few years ago, if someone was accused of saying something transphobic, I'd think, wow they really must have said something horrible like a slur or an abusive remark.

Nowadays, I just assume that they mentioned a previously uncontroversial fact relating to biological sex.
