.. I think you are conflating two different things 1)transwomen are vulnerable people & therefore should be protected, championed etc.. Yes I agree. 2)Transwomen are women. No this is not true. Its not GCSE biology. People w male bodies who say they are women do not become women

interesting, what is your definition of a "male body"? again, if you suddenly found out you had a lot of Y chromosomes in your body, would you suddenly have a "male body"?

It seems unlikely after giving birth twice. But I could be one of those women with a rare intersex condition where the SRY region of the Y chromosome isn't working as normal. But yes I'd still be female.

right, so now we know your gender identity isn't defined by your chromosomes. now imagine you were in a horrible accident that destroyed all your "gendered" body parts. Still identify as a woman?

I dont identify as a woman.

sure, let's consider ME then, who does. Would it make sense to you that in that case, I might still identify as a woman?

There is no way of any other person knowing or judging what you identify as. That's up to you. It has nothing to do with your sex. If you are born female (a girl) you grow into an adult woman. There is no accident, medical event or operation that can change that.

ok so what defines being born female?
