I don't get where do they see the accomplishment in defining "woman" as "biological woman". Aren't the terms "biological man" and "biological woman" sort of blurry depending on what criteria (chromosomal, hormonal, physiological...) one uses? Or is "biological woman" exactly defined somewhere in the UK? Are they going to define "man" as"biological man" and risk leaving a gap where some people belong to none of those categories, or are they going to define it as "not a woman"?

Yes. And probably. The end goal is for trans people or anyone who doesn’t neatly fit the binary to be harassed into the closet.
