If it’s a trans woman, is that an original man, or a woman that likes women, or a woman that likes men, or what?

It is confusing. Just remember they call themselves what they want to be.
The man who wants to be a woman Calls himself a trans woman.
The woman who wants to be a man calls herself a trans man.
And they demand we do the same.

My best guess is that this man is an autogynephile. He is not a gay feminine man with gender dysphoria. He is a heterosexual man with a sexual fetish. He is sexually aroused by dressing, acting and being treated as a woman.
And dollars to donuts he also has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, accompanied by Narcissistic Rage.
To be clear: Not ALL men who identify as women are autogynephiles. And not all autogynephiles are narcissistic. But neither is it uncommon.
Exact numbers are difficult to come by, but some estimates place autogynephiles as much as 80% among men who identify as women. Determining how many of that 80% that also have NPD and accompanying narcissistic rage is impossible.
This is the big fat elephant no one wants to look at.
No one worries themselves about people just living their lives. People only care when it impacts others. People only care when it hurts others. Including autogynephiles. And especially autogynephiles with narcisstic rage.

You have a strong point here and I was about to say the same. I don't think that all those who identify as the opposite gender in our days are suffering from gender dysphoria. Some of the have a sexual fetish to act and dress as women act and dress and others don't really have any of these characteristics and they have other ideas in their minds like having unlimited access to women's only spaces...

How about instead of calling people transphobic, call them Transwillfullyignorant. Because while I am not afraid of people pretending to be something they clearly are not, I honest to god do not need to understand their lunacy. If I had my eyes done by a plastic surgeon, I still would not be a Chinese Fighter pilot. So why on earth would anyone treat me as such?
None of this agenda makes sense, until you realize that sexual reproductive organs are valuable to certain people on this planet. The ones who think they can live forever. These organs that are lopped off of people are not being burned as medical waste. This is an industry that needs parts.

One of the common culprits is estrogen, much of which is inadvertently released into sewers through the urine of women taking birth control. Studies have shown that estrogen can wreak reproductive havoc on some fish, which spawn infertile offspring sporting a mixture of male and female parts. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh found that human breast cancer cells grew twice as fast when exposed to estrogen taken from catfish caught near untreated sewage overflows. “There is the potential for an increased risk for those people who are prone to estrogenic cancer,” said Conrad Volz, lead researcher on the study.
Hormone levels. Because soy can have estrogenic properties, its effects can vary depending on the existing level of hormones in the body. Premenopausal women have much higher circulating levels of estradiol—the major form of estrogen in the human body—than postmenopausal women. In this context soy may act like an anti-estrogen, but among postmenopausal women soy may act more like an estrogen. Also, women with breast cancer are classified into hormone type—either hormone positive (ER+/PR+) or hormone negative (ER-/PR-) breast cancer—and these tumors respond differently to estrogens.

Like I've been saying - It's the same old song and dance as when we forced Billy into football to "make a man out of him" except now we're giving him hormones to make him grow boobs since we know forcing him into football doesn't work, so we went the other direction with it. If he's not a proper man, he must be a proper woman.

You're right-- at least for a good many. And it's all based on stereotypes. Just stereotypes. We went from the extremes of the Victorian Era to the extremes of the Gender Woo Era.
