OK, but that is what is debated. You must realise this.
This is my point. We can't tell people what they are. How did he know what sex he was? It wasn't because he had a penis. I'm not ducking it. I'm pointing out that trans women have biological indicators of maleness. How do you define male?

I can't keep explaining this over and over again. You've already said that someone without a penis can be a man so you acknowledge that other biological indicators exist. Do you need evidence that trans women have them?

You are ducking it. You must be male to be a 'trans woman' True or false?
-
For the hundredth time, it depends how you define male. If by genitals, yes. If by the full range of biological indicators, no. What sex is someone who has a penis but whose chromosomes, brain and hormones are female-typical? Or any other variation.
-
Would you say that everyone who has a penis is male regardless of what the rest of their biology says? I would not. If their biology is ambiguous, I would say it was ambiguous.
-
You're claiming you can't answer the simple question: You must be male to be a 'trans woman' - True or False? Because you are claiming not to know what is meant by male. Dishonest nonsense and you well know it.
-
I do know what is meant by it! It refers to sexual characteristics. One can have male genitalia, male chromosomes, male-typical hormones and male-typical brain or one can have a mixture of male & female. Then is one male or not?
-
Do not accuse me of being dishonest. You might disagree with the science of gender difference or with the definition of male but it doesn't make me dishonest. I sought advice from biologists before writing on this.

I included much of the science here and an argument about people who take your approach. https://areomagazine.com/2017/09/27/an-argument-for-a-liberal-and-rational-approach-to-transgender-rights-and-inclusion/ … Now I am going away because you refuse to address my points as I have made them. #2 #7pic.twitter.com/HvLp4OFPaV
