This is going off the rails. Locking.
What is a woman? A fuzzy type.
Same as many many many many other categories previously thought crisp. Simple example: “living thing”.
Beat the right with fuzzy facts and fuzzy logic.
Oh look, an ignorant person who thinks trans 12-year-olds regularly get surgery rather than puberty blockers and maybe hormones.
But your not caring about children committing suicide is noted.
Hey, if it indeed reduces suicide, fine—even more reason for my indifference in them going for such procedures.
Among the 104 youths (13-20 years) who participated, 63 were transmasculine individuals (60.6%), 27 transfeminine individuals (26%), 10 nonbinary or gender fluid individuals (9.6%), and 4 individuals who didn’t know or did not respond to the gender identity question (3.8%).
60.6% transgirls?
Sylvia Plath on being a girl: https://youtu.be/1pTPuoGjQsI?t=982 (cued)
Why does anyone give a shit what Sylvia Plath, a woman who died before being trans was even legal, thinks about what it means to be a girl?
Also, she committed suicide herself, so I have no idea why you think she’s a good person to bring up.
Also, I think it’s hilarious you’re bringing up genetics in one comment as a definition of a woman and then bringing up a fucking poet as the definer in this one.
A “woman” is a label. It’s a social construct.
As such, while you and I may have some idea of what we think a woman is, it’s not really something that can be given a concrete definition the way these people seem to think it needs.
The meta of gender is simply the way we see eachother and not something that can be measured. It’s felt.
It’s a lot like trying to build a concrete definition for intelligence. What is intelligence? How can it be measured? IQ tests are one way, but they’re pretty much universally regarded as inaccurate at best.
Whatever intelligence is, these rage baiters don’t have it.
I agree. the only thing that we can say scientifically is that someone has a specific amount of traits we have associated with the social label ‘woman’. These traits are biologically speaking primarily related to reproduction and which role one would be able to fulfill the most effectively. Which does leave room for being able to fulfill both reproductive roles in some way or another.
Our social needs to mark ourselves and others as one of the two is deeply ingrained, but as it’s such a grey area under the hood it would make sense to have a more fluid relationship with the topic.
Gender helps when the surgeon cuts into the abdomen and wants better than 50/50 odds on what to expect on the other side.
The proper response to Charlie Kirk saying,‘I’m married to a woman’ is ‘How long did the Koch’s make her agree to it?’
