This is what is debated. A trans person is someone whose gender doesn't match their gonads and neuroscience & endocrinology & genetics are increasingly explaining why it doesn't. If you woke up with a vagina tmrw, you'd still know you were a man coz your brain & hormones said so
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
