Maybe dont say say "transgenders" when referring to transgender women (or men). It's considered a derogatory term. Transgender women are women. Also, saying "biologically male" or "biological males" repeatedly is not great either.

PROBLEMATIC
"transgenders," "a transgender"
Transgender should be used as an adjective, not as a noun. Do not say, "Tony is a transgender," or "The parade included many transgenders."
PREFERRED
"transgender people","a transgender person"
For example, "Tony is a transgender man," or "The parade included many transgender people."
...
PROBLEMATIC
"biologically male," "biologically female," "genetically male," "genetically female," "born a man," "born a woman"
Problematic phrases like those above are reductive and overly-simplify a very complex subject. As mentioned above, a person's sex is determined by a number of factors - not simply genetics - and a person's biology does not "trump" a person's gender identity. Finally, people are born babies: they are not "born a man" or "born a woman."
PREFERRED
"assigned male at birth," "assigned female at birth" or "designated male at birth," "designated female at birth"
