For example, a trans man is a man, so isn't it more accurate to call him a man, as opposed to trans man? Wouldn't using the trans label be offensive because it's implying they aren't just a regular man?

Because they are the gender they identify as, but are the opposite sex usually associated with the gender they identify as.

There's no "would of", "should of" or "could of".
It's "would've", "should've" and "could've".

The terms "cis woman" and "trans woman" exist for a practical reason that has nothing to do with judgement or bigotry. It's a simple matter of clarity and specificity.

Because they were born as the opposite sex and expected to perform a gender role aligning with their sex, and thus they "transition" their sex or their gender presentation to align with their gender identity.

In regards to a trans person, some degree of transition - whether it be medical or social - tends to be involved. Hence, transgender.
