No, if a woman reports the advances of a non-mahram (or a mahram for that matter) to her husband, this is not considered backbiting (whether doing so is advisable is a different matter). Allah has defined the exception:

There is a quote which I like to live by:
Righteous people don't even backbite in their thoughts
And Backbiting is not merely talking to other people about the bad habits or revealing sins of others. Backbiting could even maybe praising someone to an extent - backbiting is something that if the person hears and they would not like it; maybe it would hurt ...

Only Allah knows. Remember Allah is the most merciful and if you truly repent having done it, you need not worry anymore.

If you did not know then it is not a sin and you will be forgiven. However it is must for you to learn about things, know things, understand them and now that you know you should never do it again. Ask for forgiveness from Allah, He is the most Merciful.
Allah knows best.

In Islam you mustn't disrespect people but you also mustn't comfort one into their sin (that is a sin). Feeling like the opposite of their gender is something, and actually going out of one's way to permanently change their body and identity is a sin. If you were born a man, you have to remain a man and it's also a sin for men to mimic women and vice versa.

I really believe that your question is not islamic, maybe I'm wrong, but you have to prove me that transgender is not a sin regarded from an islamic point of view.
Some hadiths refers to man behaving very badly by behaving like women, and women dressing like men.
Allah curses men who imitate women and women who imitate men.

A general rule: any sin that is thought as less important will become greater. In a Hadeeth Imam Ali peace be upon him says do not see to the smallness of the sin but do see the greatness of the one you disobey.

You should have your co-worker with you when you tell your boss what you think of him.

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, "Do you know what is
