      I have not claimed a subjective definition to be useful. Please address what I am actually saying.

      Radfems go on gonads & chromosomes usually. Biologists will point out these don't always match.

      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?

          This question was related to my point abt brains, chromosomes, brains not always being all female or all male.

          if a brain lives near a uterus it's female. If it lives near a penis it's male. Unless u want to change defn of male and female.
