Her definition is almost exactly what they teach in biology class as the definition of female, and more or less what chatGPT or Wikipedia would tell you.
All definitions are fuzzy, though. You can define a chair as something with four legs that is intended for sitting, and someone could break one of the legs and say "well I guess it's not a chair anymore!". There's exceptions to the definition of species as well. In the end all definitions are imperfect at capturing every single case. A good definition maximizes usefulness and minimizes edge cases. Since most men don't see trans women as fungible with biological women, trying to fuse the categories fails the first criteria of maximizing usefulness. A notable exception to this is if you're a gigapassoid. If you're trans and men consider you substantially fungible with biological women, then I'd have no problem saying you're a real woman.
Woman: an organism straight men want to frick.

I think this is essentially correct though it doesn't have to revolve around giving men boners lol. Not all trans women are real women, but if you pass sufficiently well (since cis women sometimes get accused of being men too, and you can pass in some circumstances but not others, passing is a spectrum), you are a real woman, since that is how people treat you.
I think what you're saying about the fuzziness of definitions is really important. TWANW believers rely on imperfect definitions as a criteria for exclusion, even though they freely admit that meeting their definition is not a necessary or even sufficient component of womanhood. They basically do mental gymnastics to avoid admitting that the 'exceptions' they include/exclude prove that gender is socially constructed. TWAAW believers do the opposite and assert that because gender is socially constructed you can just label anything a woman, which is also r-slurred.
Unfortunately 'just pass lol' makes for a horrible legal standard, so countries are forced to rely on medicalization or self-ID or denial of the existence of trans women (real). It's the perfect set up for endless social conflict

There's probably some more sophisticated formulation that adjusts for your intended dating pool. Ultimately the words we use for s*x are half of the equation (+orientation) we use to categorize people into dating pools.
S*x is who you are. Orientation is what s*x you want. And if s*x is defined by gigapassing, these two pieces of information allow you to deduce who is attracted to who. Very useful.

Long term estrogen usage already did that
Also it isn't sophistry to assert I'm a woman when everyone I know, family, friends, strangers i meet, government officials, etc. effortlessly affirms this.

I mean, her own post is a hedge against her own wrongness. If she actually believed the absence or presence of large gamete production was sufficient to determine whether or not someone was a woman she woild just say that.

Honestly, my personal opinion on JK Rowling is I don't fricking care. She has the right to her beliefs and nothing she says is that fricking offensive. I'm sick of hearing about her, I'm sick of people overreacting to some pretty mundane views, I can disagree with someone's views and still read Harry Potter and play some silly wizard game and still like it. I pirate fricking everything anyway, she isn't getting a fricking dime.
She is getting off on attention and her whole game is people over fricking react and look fricking r-slurred and as a , It affects me because it causes people to act uncomfortable upon meeting me thinking I'm going to scream their head off for the slightest offense. I just want to mind my own business and I'm not interested in whatever fricking gender politics people are focusing on. I want access to Health Care, be free from discrimination in employment and housing and be free from violence or harassment in my day to day life and that is it. Your personal opinions about my gender identity, as long as you respect me somewhat, and I don't even enforce or care about gender pronouns, are whatever, you can believe whatever you want.
It doesn't cause me harm if someone calls me "he" because they have deeply held experiences or beliefs based on religious views, eventually, that is something I've realized I need to accommodate a bit to society and I can't expect society to accommodate perfectly to me. It's just a fricking one syllable word. I'm not saying someone should misgender intentionally to be a peepee, but frick. It's worse if a professor is on edge for example, thinking I'm going to be sensitive at the tiniest little mistake. I have to talk to every professor on the first day of class after class and tell them straight up "Don't believe I'm sensitive or anything." I do put forth effort, but I'm never going to pass, that is the reality. I have a deep voice, people accidentally misgender me without realizing. It's fricking okay.
I'm not saying I agree with JK Rowling or her views, but the best way to handle her is to just fricking ignore her and let her fade into obscurity.
Her fanbase also known as TERFs is composed of people who should view walking up a set of stairs as more threatening than a transgender person. They're loud, but they don't fricking go outside that often, and they're just going to grow the more attention you give her. s and TERFs also have something in common, none of them are breeding.

No CAIS males are getting kicked out of women's bathrooms. Even if every state in the country passed laws banning them from women's bathrooms their lives would be unaffected except at the doctor's because no woman sees them as men or can even recognize them as CAIS males unless they're doing in depth (literally) examinations.
You, on the other hand, have good reason to worry when you walk into a women's bathroom. All a woman needs to do is notice your shoulders or your nose and you're busted. You are completely reliant on women being too cowed to call you out for the man that you are.

hi starry, im very much a live and let live kind of person, so i generally dont like just assuming that people are being facetious. one thing im confused about though is that you have self-referred multiple times using male terminology. "boyclit", "boislut", and "bussy" to name a few. me personally, referring to myself with any male terms tends like that to make me dysphoric. do you mind clarifying exactly how you feel about this kind of terminology? is it like, "okay i can say it but others cant"? or maybe you're not a transwoman, but more something along the lines of enby or genderfluid? or are you a femboy on hrt? im very confused and would like some clarification, but recognize im not entitled to answers. i would just like to be in an environment where everybody is on the same page. thats all :)
