By no means the first time Coyne has made an arse of himself pontificating about something when he's not familiar with the terrain. https://twitter.com/boodleoops/status/810563676990275585 …

Here's the thing, Coyne: 2nd wave feminists do *not* think you're a woman merely coz you "feel" like a woman (whatever the hell that means).

And being a woman is not reducible to body parts, because gender is a construct, it's hierarchical & imposed. Don't conflate sex & gender!

gender is or may be in part a construct. Is almost certainly in part biological too.

Yes. I think most 2nd wavers would accept that - but there would be disagreement over extent to which biology is involved.

I'm often surprised how many don't, except when it comes to aggression/ violence.

It's tricky - if you get essentialist abt biology, you run the risk of suggesting different gender roles etc, are "natural".
