I know that "females" is seen as icky when describing women or girls, but since not all women were born female and not all born females are women, would that make addressing them as such transphobic?

yes, if addressing a trans man as females and meaning it that way and not how he was born imo.

there's times where the information is relevant to say "he's a guy but he was born female" but being like "HE'S A FEMALE!!!" out of the blue is transphobic. i think the accurate term for WOMEN is women anyway, in my eyes.
