Its interesting to compare it with the word mother which can convey a biological relationship as well as a social one. The difference is that the differing meanings of the word is generally accepted.
Philosopher @Docstockk weighs in on Qs raised by my case. Can we think of "woman" as a homonym for quite different things; being female, feminine appearance, feeling a gender identity? What are the beneficial & harmful consequences if these are elided? https://www.thearticle.com/maya-forstater-says-that-women-are-adult-human-females-does-this-count-as-a-philosophical-belief# …pic.twitter.com/CtSfW4s4VT

Don't we already have that? Woman = sex. Gender = feminine psychology and behavior. Gender identity = sense of self? Homonym: female. Then the questions are about the relationships between the three (eg evolved psychological sex differences).

Side note, I would avoid casual use of "stereotyped." What's that supposed to convey, stereotype as false (but see stereotype accuracy)? Stereotype as normative? Stereotyping as arbitrary, as immoral?

Should it be the idea that men can be women that should be classified as a philosophical belief? And then argue discrimination based on not believing it?
