You are not using the transparency node, but the translucency node

Transparency makes the area transparent while translucency let's some light throu but scatters it a little bit. A good example for this are the leaves on trees. If the sun shines on them, they are bright from both sides, while the trunk is only bright on one side, as it is not letting light pass throu
