        The person you’re responding to has also commented “You are obviously referencing hitler, a man who lead his country to the greatest heights it had see in a long time, until the western world decided he was evil.”

        Their opinions are obviously worthless.

      I’m in a better position to know than you, and you’re just wrong. I suspect deep down you know that though; you’re just a bigot.

              Same reason as why dictionaries have multiple definitions for a single word. The specific meaning of a word is dependent on the context it’s used in. Languages also evolve as we discover more about the world we live in – new words are created and old ones get updated to better fit reality.

              Sometimes people willfully ignore that in an attempt to force a discussion to a conclusion that isn’t true. They don’t like nuance or context, because those are the death of a bad argument.

              …because that’s how language works?

              If someone shows me a person and asks if that person is a woman, it will depend on “whether i perceive them as a woman in that moment”

              If we’re talking about gender as a social concept in society, a woman is “a person the majority perceives as a woman”

              If we’re talking about one’s identity, a woman is simply “someone who perceives themselves as a woman”

              If we’re talking about genetics, a woman is a person with 2 x chromosomes, if we’re talking about primary sex characteristics, a woman is a persob with a vagina (or do we wanna limit it to having had one from birth? Both yes and no answers might be relevant depending on the context), etc.

              even if you take gender out of the picture entirely and pretend like someone who looks like a woman, sounds like a woman, behaves like a woman somehow isn’t a woman, you’d still need context to define it.

              It’s also a question that I have never fucking asked myself in my life in a general sense, because it’s utterly irrelevant except in very specific contexts.

          Comment removed for asking ‘what is a woman?’

          The censorship on this sub is hilarious, lol.

            Because the mods aren’t stupid and understand exactly what they were doing.

            This isn’t Reddit, and this community isn’t going to tolerate bigotry thinly disguised as “just asking questions” and “polite” behavior.

          Generally speaking, usually someone who is a mature female. However, some females turn out to be trans men, and some males turn out to be trans women (hence, “trans”).

          Glad I could clear that up for you, not that I’m dumb enough to think you were asking in good faith. It’s pretty easy to answer when you don’t need everything to be laid out in black and white terms because you can’t handle the diversity of the human experience.

          I love that my simply existing can trigger a nazi like you so easily. You must know your anger changes nothing at all. Just a scared angry little person you are, raving and ranting.

              I can’t tell if you’re serious or not. I hope you’re not. The fact that you’ve made two scientifically verifiable errors, gender = sex, and asserted it’s only a binary scale, suggests to me you’re not, in which case you should rethink joking about this - not everyone will get it.

          Biology is more complicated than your poor attempts to draw lines and parcel up stuff nicely so your brain won’t hurt. Transgender people have existed from before you were born.
