I think you're just chronically online. Just say female if you're in a conversation and want to exclude trans women. Most trans people won't care as long if the context isn't transphobic. I really don't see why it's unacceptable to have an adjective if you're describing a subset of women. Like there's not a singular noun for "tall men" but if you're actually not being transphobic then whatever.
Again with sexual orientation, it sounds like you're saying that because chronically online. There are people who say it's transphobic to say straight but exlude trans people. Again, context and intent matters. You can just say straight. This one is tricker because not all trans people have surgically transitioned, genital preference matters, and orientation is a spectrum.
And it's a tough subject within the trans community itself, because it's frustrating to present as a gender, transition in every way to that gender, be accepted and pass for that gender, only for someone to say they aren't attracted to you only after they find out you're trans. What other conclusion would you have other than transphobia? And it doesn't help that it often is accompanied by blatant transphobia.
So if someone is calling you transphobic, either the context is also transphobic or they're misunderstanding your intent.
