It's transphobic to argue that "women" doesn't include "trans women." I don't know the site, but I don't see any reason why women that look like the type they're after should be turned away on the basis of happening to be a pre-operative transsexual.
Also... It's a bit different because "MILFs" aren't an oppressed minority group. When your life is seen by many/most people as little more than the punchline on a Saturday Night Live sketch, it really makes it hard to get a job, keep a home, or hell, stay alive. It makes every slight like this sting that much more, and that much more dangerous.
As I said, I really don't know anything further about SuicideGirls. Your description of them seems apt. But when I see my sistren and brethren calling out transphobia, I stand with them. I figure that transfolk know what they're talking about better than cisfolk in situations like these.

I shouldn't have made any assumptions about SuicideGirls. I know nothing about them except for their landing page.
