Maybe she said "biological men" to clarify since conservatives seem to genuinely be confused about trans designations.

I realize it's inappropriate to refer to a transwoman as a "biological male". That's something a trans person can disclose to their doctors if needed but it isn't really anyone else's business. And such a term is dehumanizing as it denotes someone as a "specimen".

I don't think Andrew's was talking about a specific person. Just clarifying for ignorant people.

But I don't know for sure. Maybe someone should ask her.

I just try to give people the benefit of the doubt when they haven't shown any prior behavior that would indicate discrimination tendencies.

Everything you say is possible, though increasingly doubtful: she's already faced more than enough shit for it to walk it back or to clarify further if she wanted. Also, the unedited quote I provided was her clarification. I sincerely hope she proves you right.
