“Female” is a descriptor of sex (element of anatomy), not gender identity (element of consciousness). Considering that the whole foundation of the notion of being trans relies on sex and gender being two distinct things, it literally can’t be transphobic to use a sex adjective to refer to homologous body parts that are inherent to that sex, because being trans is all about variations of gender identity, not sex–the two don’t actually intersect.
For example, only males/females are capable of suffering from prostate/ovarian cancer–and this population includes trans women/men.

Just like “theory” is a rigorously tested hypothesis. We’re not all professional biologists and doctors, it’s different colloquially.
