This depends on defining 'man' by genitals. If someone's chromosomes and/or hormones and/or brain structure and function are female, they will still be considered a trans woman but were they born a man?
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

You're basically claiming there is no such thing as gender. I really didn't count you as going along with this POMO nonsense.
-
No, I'm not! I;m telling you what the science of sexual differences show us and how this relates to gender identity.

Again, you fail to answer the simple question, what are you so afraid of? You must be male to be a 'trans woman' True or false?
-
I'm not going to keep repeating myself! Last time. It depends whether you take 'male' from genitals or from all biological indicators of sex. This isn't difficult. This isn't ducking. It's the reality of definitions of male.
