Beauvoir means that while one is biologically assigned a certain sex at birth (female), being a woman is a social construct that is learned and internalized through societal expectations and norms. It emphasizes that gender identity is not innate but shaped by cultural and societal influences.

Is a man a woman?

No, it can't really be that answer. There's two sides, man or woman. You are born usually just one gender. If you mean "Does a man act like a woman?" Well, if they are gay, perhaps. If the man thinks they are the opposite gender of what they were born to be, and have surgery to look and act like a woman, yes. But no it is very unlikely to have a man a woman.
