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.

that's reasonably close. I don't think "sufficiently similar" is quite right though - sounds like a Tesco delivery substitution! It's more.. the fetus developed in the uterus along a M or F pathway resulting in all or some of the working parts of one or other reproductive type
If we didn't have a word to denote the class of people with the potential to get pregnant and the class of people with the potential to impregnate them we'd have to invent them...

Because no one can verify a person identity. So then you are left with identifying "women" and "girl" with things like wears dresses, high heels, makeup, caring, kind, etc... Can you see how regressive this is?

This is actual material being promoted to UK schools for sex and relationship education: Choose your gender - are you Masculine: tough, active and independent or Feminine: soft, emotional and passive. Do you take charge or take part?

infertile women or women with no uterus do not have the potential to get pregnant, we are back at square one with this now (well ok more like square 2)

No we are really not. Being fertile is not a necessary condition of being male or female. Post-menopausal women for example are not a third sex, or lesser or part women.
