But surely in that case the response would be “Which word?” & we’d have to say “Woman meaning adult human female” and there you are. Really do not understand why you appear to find it impossible to understand the difficulty.

I am sure the fault must lie with me.

The way you interact with women in this thread is very strange; even those you appear to know quite well.

Is it? How so?

You seem to think if we are reasonable people will not accuse us to be offensive. We are reasonable. Megan Murphy, Canadian feminist, was permanently banned from Twitter for saying 'That's him', referring to transwoman who was still, at the time, also using male name.

So basically you seem to take the very male attitude that if there is a dispute involving women, we must have been the hysterical and unreasonable ones.

1. I think that wholly unfair, sorry. The suggestion I have accused anyone of being "hysterical" is untrue. 2. Reasonable people make mistakes all the time. I know I do. I consider you mistaken as to whether this is the morally right thing to do.

You seem to insist we should be reasonable. We already are. You did not say we made a mistake, but that we should be reasonable (assumption being we are not). We are the reasonable ones in this debate. Asking to consider biology, need for women to have rights, risks for children
