I am glad that you are explicitly saying that we can write about trans women and cis women. but maybe you could just say that? i am a cis woman, so i am happy to be told to hush by someone else who is perhaps more experienced in thinking about this/more personally impacted, but the way you've expressed it here (OR as canonically male characters that, in their canons, overtly and consistently, by their own choice, represent themselves as women) just feels a bit funny. i know trans women who would balk at being referred to as 'canonically male, representing as women,' is all.
