The article asks what is the politically neutral answer to the question of whether a trans woman is a woman. I wonder why this is a political question at all.

Even if the statement "trans women are women" was uncontroversial and mainstream, it'd still be political. "Cis women are women" is political.

How is “cis women are women” political when literally no one is arguing against that point?

It might be nigh-universally accepted, but that lack of controversy doesn't change a thing. It's still a statement about identity and the relationship between groups of people, and therefore a political statement.
