Yes, I know. That's the point. We're not only going to talk about the nouns. We're still always going to talk about the adjectives. When we do the former, we are talking about the sex. When we do the latter, we are talking about gender. I don't see that ever going away.

Some trans woman on Twitter told me that I'm a woman, because I "identify myself as a woman", just like her and my female body, biology and sexuality has absolutely nothing to do with it.

You can survive this. Other people will always have different views to you and use different words.
-
Well, if you believe that being a man or a woman is based purely on psychology and has nothing to do with anatomy, sexuality and reproduction then you can also believe in flat Earth.
-
I accept the science as it emerges. You can choose to define 'woman' purely by reproductive systems & ignore brains, hormones & genetics if you choose. These are the facts.
-
However, there are also the ethics. Mine are liberal which means I will defend your right to define 'woman' as widely or narrowly as you like and also other people's to disagree with you. You can survive people disagreeing with you or even being wrong.
-
Sweet Jesus, you obviously aren’t even trying to understand my point.
-
Mine is different. I am essentially telling you to believe what you want and asking you not to go on about it to people who aren't interested and accept disagreement.
