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?

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.

Being of the sex that can bear offspring and produce eggs, which can be fertilized by male gametes. Before you ask: This does mean that women who are infertile or develop w atypical/missing parts are not female.

Same reason a baby born with one arm is *not* not a human!

Replying to @MForstater @_alice_evans and
well if the definition of human was "has two arms", it sure wouldn't fit the category definition, so this is not a good rebuttal.

No. Having two arms and two legs is not part of the definition of being human Alice! No, just no.

and however one does try to define 'human', we'll find some who we intuitively consider 'human' who don't fit this mold. definitions are inept.
