Then the rest of my thread. I have no doubt that Trans people « feel » that they are of the opposite sex. But « feeling » is not « being ».
I said reproductive systems are visible and that's what we have gone by. We can now see if chromosomes say the same thing as it. But I don't care about these arguments. If you're happy to just leave people alone to do their own thing, I;m happy.

I don’t really disagree on the « let people do what they want » as long as it is reciprocal. It is an utopy, but why not? Still, as ideas matter (and cannot be adressed without meaningful words), I will continue to ask my question. Who knows, one day I might receive ans answer...

You'll receive lots of answers. There is no shortage of answers and well-developed rationales to the questions 'What is a woman?' and 'Is feeling like a woman the same as being a woman?'

This is all people do, argue about these from from different ideological/philosophical frameworks. It's incredibly tedious and our essay was an attempt to cut through it & address practicalities and a simple liberal ethics in relation to it.

And somehow, I agree. More and more, it will become obvious that different metaphysics lead to radically different point of views. Hence, people will have to coexist. Still lots of progress to do on this, on both sides.
-
I think it's better to care less about definitions and more about letting people do what they want, sorting out the practical issues and waiting on the science to explain this phenomenon more clearly.

Ok. Anyway, thank you for your patient answers. It was instructive for me.
