I'm going to try to gather the energy to actually talk about the TERFs in the replies here rather than just yelling at them -- The thing is, TERF ideology makes the hypothetical in the OP logically impossible and meaningless This is why TERFism is a form of "biopessimism"https://twitter.com/sadydoyle/status/1384145600455737350 …

The TERF worldview is that the DEFINITION of a man is someone in the "sex class" that doesn't get pregnant and can't miscarry The hypothetical is a contradiction in terms - like a Marxist saying "Well if capitalists had to work for a living then jobs wouldn't suck so much"

It’s really not. A woman is an adult human female, and it’s not a TERF definition, it’s the only definition. Similarly, a man is an adult male human.

Okay, so you agree that the hypothetical "What if men could have miscarriages?" is meaningless, then? Did you read the thread or are you a term searcher who just spams this at people

I read the thread, and like I alluded to, it seems dumb as dirt when you pretend like these evil people have some bizarre definition of a word that every normal person ever has had, because it’s literally the definition.

I mean, considering that gender has existed much longer than anyone knew anything about biology, the definition is probably not biological, hm?

Do you think? I’m quite certain that we all knew who women were before we ever asked for someone’s pronouns.

Okay so I'm not interested in having this argument Do you have any problem with the writer of the original article? Who is speculating about something that, according to you, doesn't make any sense and is impossible?

"If men could miscarry, they'd speak up about it and be heard" But according to you this is a contradiction If men could miscarry, they would be women, by definition, and it would be exactly the same as what we have now

There's a weird novel (can't recall the title) from back in the 90s about feminists kidnapping a Scalia-type SCOTUS judge and implanting a fetus in him, bc they thought being pregnant would turn him pro-choice.
