I always have fun seeing the mental gymnastics left wingers use to avoid having to define what a man or woman is without using circular reasoning lol
Go ahead and define a woman for us then. Since you seem to know the definition.
A woman is someone with XX chromosomes, at least some female reproductive organs, and no male reproductive organs.
"A woman is someone with XY chromosomes..."
off to a good start
Haha 😂😂 My bad on the typo y'all
I see, so this person is not a woman:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30799415/
They got pregnant, but their chromosomes are XXY.
So what are they?
Klinefelter syndrome (KS), also known as 47,XXY, is a chromosome anomaly where a male has an extra X chromosome.[10] These complications commonly include infertility and small, poorly functioning testicles (if present). These symptoms are often noticed only at puberty, although this is one of the most common chromosomal disorders, occurring in one to two per 1,000 live births. It is named after American endocrinologist Harry Klinefelter, who identified the condition in the 1940s.[4][5][11]
IMO FWIW, thon is more of a woman than Caitlyn Jenner.
Cool. Thanks for your queerphobic take.
Disagreement with the politically correct about transgender is necessarily transphobic.
Do tell me where you studied genetics at a graduate level to make the determination you just made.
Otherwise yeah, you're being a queerphobe.
Your right: only the elite and/or those with a university degrees can discuss this issue.
You are defining a woman by her genes. So yes, I expect you to have a university degree to be able to make such an authoritative definition.
Just like I would expect you to have a degree in physics before making an authoritative definition based on properties of physics.
Believe it or not, Facebook University isn't a real university.

Several decades ago, the authorities on the subject regarded homosexuality as a mental disorder. Fortunately not all LGBT lay-people deferred to their judgements.

So I need a degree to say "E=mc2."
Believe it or not, Facebook University isn’t a real university.
I never joined that site.
This is a good question. I would say neither. This person doesn't fit neatly within the bounds of of man or woman.
For someone with genetic anomalies like these, I don't really care too much about what they identify as or whose spaces they inhabit.
I see. And what about people with Swyer Syndrome? They can live their entire lives with no one, not even them, suspecting their chromosomes are XY. Men? Should we be genetically testing every woman to make sure she isn’t really a man and doesn’t know it?
Such a person can compete in womens sports FAIC.
A 2017 study estimated that the incidence of Swyer syndrome is approximately 1 in 100,000 females.[22] Fewer than 100 cases have been reported as of 2018. There are extremely rare instances of familial Swyer syndrome.[23][24]
You are defining 'woman' by whether or not sports officials decide they can compete with other women? And then you try to use science afterward?
I think anyone who defines wt:thonself as a woman should be able to compete in any Olympic event as a woman.
Well someone with Swyer Syndrome isn't a man, because in most cases they have a vulva, at least according to Wikipedia.
I wouldn't be opposed to genetic testing at birth, perhaps, but unless you're engaging in a sport or maybe getting a checkup I'm not sure why it needs to be standardized practice. These cases are pretty rare anyways, and many (if not most) DSDs are pronounced enough to be noticed during the natural course of living life.
Seems like if you have to make exceptions for your definition to work, it's not a very good definition.
A man is a person of male gender identity, i.e. identifying as a male
A woman is a person of female gender identity, i.e. identifying as a female
That's all there is to it, since the very concept of gender identity revolves around a purely social phenomenon of gender - which many people try to forcefully connect to sex, which is not the same thing and won't ever be.
