The prevalent meaning of "trans woman" is a person who was
cis woman, but now is a man.  Analogously for "trans man."

a trans woman.  And vice versa.  And what is "cis?

BTW, were both Xi Jinping and Terri Gibbs born on the 15th
and the 16th?

No, the 15th, both.  There was a typo adding a second June 16 list,
only in the copies e-mailed.
