oh sure. I know there are other views which rely on circular defns and are therefore useless. @CravusVermelhus
Radfems go on gonads & chromosomes usually. Biologists will point out these don't always match.

Religious ppl go on gonads & scriptures. Neuroscientists look at brains. Identitarians focus on personal ID.
-
so I'm wrong because some people think x? Just tell me.why I'm wrong. Much easier.
-
I don't say you're wrong to define woman on gonads (if that's what you do.) I'm saying there's more to the conversation.
-
pls tell me I'm wrong. Just tell me WHY.
-
I have said why there is more to 'woman' than gonads. Brains & chromosomes also sig & may disagree.
-
On top of the conflicting info from brains, gonads & chromosomes, there are subjective, ideological views including yours.
-
These may take some bits of science but only the ones that agree with them. Not terribly helpful but have right to exist

what do u actually mean by brain sex? I think it most revealing that you initially referred to it as gender.

yes very rarely people are intersex. Still woman = adult human female. Just like we are bipedal despite rare exceptions.
-
But what makes you female? Is it your gonads, your chromosomes or your brain? What if they say different things?
-
I think its clear brain is most significant in telling us what gender we are coz its our brains that tell us everything.
-
FEMALE is SEX, not gender, so I don't know why you talk about brain gender.
-
Brain sex then. If your brain suddenly transplanted to male body, you'd still know you were female.
-
sex relates to who carried babies, to reproduction. Brains do not confer this ability.
-
We can agree that this is black & white. But convo is not simply abt it being female reproductive system which carries babies
-
we went down this road bcos I said "adult human female" + u wanted 2 know what female is. U don't like female bit of defn maybe?
