You can colour me totally surprised that the good people of development twitter (at least most who've chatted with me) say they believe that male people can be woman, in some real sense. And that insisting we need a word for female people is old hat (and mean and not inclusive).

But from there we get into a mess by confusing & conflating 'sex' & 'gender'. Sex =biology

. Gender can be two things - a feeling in yr head of being a man/woman, and the expression of gendered roles - wearing makeup & heels or a shirt and tie, acting kind vs acting tough -
Under 'self ID' a transwoman is any male who identifies as a woman (a feeling in their head). I am a woman but I dont have a feeling in my head. I don't think a male person who "feels female" is literally same as a female person (though it is polite to treat ppl as they like)..
