Define woman

Following on from the previous thread.

How do you personally define a woman? Please no; insulting others just for a differing opinion, intentionally offending/belittling.

Personally I define a woman as a human adult female.

Honestly where I got too many times with so many topics. Lots of people want to dispute the experiences you and your family live. And it’s just reliving trauma sometimes.

Not what I said at all is it? However this seems like a woman's response with the conclusions being jumped to.

I was just basically getting at that a woman will have had a menstrual cycle at some point in her life that's all tc

Not necessarily.

Also no one is debating your life. It’s an interesting topic and well worth of a debate. If you don’t like what you read then just don’t read it.

Point out where I’ve silenced anyone…I’ll wait.

You’re choosing to engage in a debate, which is cool, if you’re sick of it then just don’t engage.

You’ve assumed anyone that has a differing viewpoint are cis and that you can only be cis, or trans. If anyone else had said that, or similar, there would be uproar.

There’s no need for the ultra defensiveness.

"If you don't like it don't read it" is what you said right? Just because I don't like it, doesn't mean I have to stop contributing an opinion. Ultra defensiveness? Or just a different opinion than you?

Ok so what are the other options other than "trans" and "cis" then I'd love to hear them

Adult human female. In a nutshell. No offense to anyone and individuals can identify as whatever they like, ive no problem with that, but to be a woman you have to be an adult human female. That's not my opinion just a biological fact.

How is that silencing you? You stated you’re getting sick of something, I don’t know about everyone else, but if I don’t want to see something I don’t look/read.

You haven’t challenged my opinion so no idea if differs.

Are you seriously only saying there’s trans, or cis gender?

Your non binary compadre in here would probably disagree with you for starters.

Anyway to keep on track. How would you define a woman?

I'd really love a pair of woman's well worn wet knickers to smell.

I definitely wouldn't ever want knickers from someone that was born male.

It doesn't matter how they identify now, or transition they have gone through. Their worn knickers won't do it for me, and its my preference.

Trans activist really don't do trans people any favours,most trans people want to just get on with their lives and be happy and and drama free,then all of a sudden these campus college idiots are jumping on the band waggon on their behalf,there is no debate anymore,just shouting and screaming,who asked the trans activist to stick up and speak for them,I'm sure it's not a transperson who just wants to get on with living in peace

Being a woman is such a deep and all encompassing thing that there is no short answer. It's growing up as a girl, its getting periods and boobs, it's navigating the teenage years, it's going into adulthood.

It is a lived experience. And it is different for every woman.

How is telling someone to not contribute to a thread *not* silencing their opinion? Even if I don't like it I can still give my opinion on my existence as a trans person being debated by cis people.

You do know the meanings of the terms trans and cis? and that non binary comes under the trans umbrella of "not identifying with their assigned gender at birth"? And I am sure that if they disagree with anything I say then they're more than welcome to let me know and I'd be more than happy to discuss it with them.

To answer your topic question, I personally define women as people that identify as women.

Are you looking a definition of a woman or all women?

I've never felt the need to define anyone.

I would struggle to define what it means to be a man because my life experience has formed me as a man but will be completely different for everyone else.

Based on that, a woman is a woman and that's the only definition I need.

So you have a circular definition? Fair enough you’re entitled to your opinion, we just don’t agree and that’s cool.

There’s no need for the ultra defensiveness.

"If you don't like it don't read it" is what you said right? Just because I don't like it, doesn't mean I have to stop contributing an opinion. Ultra defensiveness? Or just a different opinion than you?

Ok so what are the other options other than "trans" and "cis" then I'd love to hear them

How is that silencing you? You stated you’re getting sick of something, I don’t know about everyone else, but if I don’t want to see something I don’t look/read.

You haven’t challenged my opinion so no idea if differs.

Are you seriously only saying there’s trans, or cis gender?

Your non binary compadre in here would probably disagree with you for starters.

Anyway to keep on track. How would you define a woman?

How is telling someone to not contribute to a thread *not* silencing their opinion? Even if I don't like it I can still give my opinion on my existence as a trans person being debated by cis people.

You do know the meanings of the terms trans and cis? and that non binary comes under the trans umbrella of "not identifying with their assigned gender at birth"? And I am sure that if they disagree with anything I say then they're more than welcome to let me know and I'd be more than happy to discuss it with them.

To answer your topic question, I personally define women as people that identify as women.

Where did I state you couldn’t contribute? Stop putting words in my mouth please. If I had said that then you’d have a point. I suggested that I’d you didn’t like what you read then perhaps you shouldn’t read it. Completely different to just saying you’re forbidden from replying.

So you have a circular definition? Fair enough you’re entitled to your opinion, we just don’t agree and that’s cool.

"

The same to you, we don't agree and most likely never will.

I see your point and understand thanks for clarifying, I just don't think the whole "if you don't like it don't read or participate" is the best response. Bit like telling granny how to suck eggs, we know we don't have to read or respond but if we don't then you don't get the other side of the debate do you.

"A person who has XX chromosomes and reproductive organs that make bearing children possible"

So how do you define someone with XO chromosomes? This is called Turner syndrome and physically, individuals are biological females but often have no or under developed reproductive systems.

It’s good we can both deescalate. I’m all for healthy debates, it’s how we make progress after all.

I haven’t, and wouldn’t tell someone to just shush. My next example was going to be if someone told me they didn’t like Marvel I’d advise them not to watch Avengers. It’s completely different to telling someone they can’t watch avengers.

That said I get it’s an emotive subject on both sides, that’s why I find it interesting.

"Someone with XX chromosomes."

And I am frustrated that those who suffer with gender dysphoria have gained such a voice that we see the lunacy that we do in sport and the absolute censorship of other views. They speak with the certainty and vehemence that they remind my of the Spanish Inquisition. Being forced to believe that they are woman is like you being force to believe I am black or 21 years old… I may want to be those things but nature dealt me a different hand…

I believe that when people born as men are able to compete against female athletes because of the fear of the politically correct agenda, the pendulum has swung too far.

If you want to dress in a feminine or masculine manner, no one should take issue with that as it is your self expression.

But sex and gender are the same thing and cosmetics surgery and hormones don’t change your sex/gender they simply make you a more feminine man or masculine woman and there needs to be acceptance of that too.

Playing around with the semantics of gender definition simply plays to the unsustainable social etiquette that is being forced upon society.

Sorry if you find this unpalatable as my intent is not to cause harm but the sense of Emperor’s New Clothes requires my to call it out.

Odd that so many are suffering at the moment, the last week has been non stop! Wouldn't wish them on anyone hope yours is better.

Sorry, will try again. Making a point of something that someone already knows is pointless is what I'm trying to get across. Knowing whether your comment is actually helpful, or whether you're just saying it because you can say it. I already knew I didn't have to read or respond to the thread even though I don't like some of the opinions put across or the motive behind the "debate", so was telling me I don't have to respond actually helpful?

And I don't think there's a way to measure whether I'm more pissed off about being debated like we're less than anyone else just because we're trans, than cis women are pissed off about trans women being women. That's what I think. That's what you asked me.

If you're asking what I think about trans women in sports, or any other topic to do with trans women, then actually ask those questions rather than framing it as a question that seems to be rooted in "only one of us is allowed to be pissed off".

So you're saying that because it didn't affect you, you have absolutely no empathy for those it does affect. Ok.

No, that's not what I'm saying at all I'm trying to understand how you want me to answer the question because you're not basing your question on any measurable evidence as to who is more pissed off about each other. Are you asking if there's more cis women that are upset than trans people? Because I don't have those numbers for you. What are you actually asking me so I can answer the question.

I asked what you "think".

Bess x

And I don't think there's a way to measure whether I'm more pissed off about being debated like we're less than anyone else just because we're trans, than cis women are pissed off about trans women being women. That's what I think. That's what you asked me.

If you're asking what I think about trans women in sports, or any other topic to do with trans women, then actually ask those questions rather than framing it as a question that seems to be rooted in "only one of us is allowed to be pissed off".

I don’t think ANYONE has/would say you’re less than anyone else. I’m not sure why asking people to give their definition of what a woman is can be mistaken for that."

Its a lighthearted thread as they all are

I identify as neither trans nor cis...I am a woman, one who has reproduced and nourished my children from my breast. That defines me from men. I dont object to anyone self identifying as they desire but please refrain from rebranding me. I've said before, in order to achieve a desired identity, it is not helpful if this means the identity of others is eroded.

"Sick of having my life and my trans siblings lives "debated" for the amusement of cis people. That's my opinion. "

May I ask a question? A genuine one that I haven't seen anyone else ask.

Why are you so pissed off?

I've read your profile and it states you're a Trans-Man. Although you chose, woman as gender for the site. This threadbis asking about woman but you've jumped in with, from what I can see, attitude from the word go. Why? You don't identify as a woman.

Because no one would give their profile a second look!

There's lots of profiles on this site, as female gender, yet are actually trans men or just guys.

They send a message (single female profile) stating what they'd like to do to me and 'this is the male half messaging you'. I report them all but nothing ever happens.

"Sick of having my life and my trans siblings lives "debated" for the amusement of cis people. That's my opinion.

Do you think you are more, or less "Sick of having my life and my trans siblings lives "debated" for the amusement of cis people." than me and my biologically born female siblings are sick of men in dresses invading our personal spaces and sports for their amusement?

Why do you care if my feelings on the subject are more or less than yours? Because if you're expecting me to answer based on my own experiences living as a woman before I transitioned, I can safely tell you no "man in a dress" affected me in my personal spaces or in sports. It was always cis girls and women that affected on those particular topics.

But if that's not what you meant, I don't know how to gauge the answer of who's more fed up of who.

So you're saying that because it didn't affect you, you have absolutely no empathy for those it does affect. Ok.

No, you know exactly what I'm asking and you're just side-stepping. I'll try to make it simpler. You say that "cis" people debating this topic is for their "amusement" and that you're sick of it. This suggests that you feel that only you and your "trans siblings" have the right to be "sick of it", when their are many people on both sides who want to discuss it rationally. You adding "for their amusement" is insulting to the "cis" side of the debate.

My question is - do you personally "think" you have more rights to be "sick" of the topic than "cis" people? If you think those on both sides have equal rights to be "sick" of it, then stop using insulting phrases like "for their amusement" when debating the topic.

For me there are two kinds of women, one is a gossipper who envys a woman she feels to be intimidated by also carries past trauma which has broken her but she's aware or indenial makes rash choices without thinking it through.

On the other hand there are women who have empathy and compassion. Who would take caution in knowing what they say and do will carry out a generic impression. They are clear and assured of what they want in their life and stay grounded also focused to achieve their goals. Its natural to her to care and be considerate but also will not be used mistreated and abused but life has taught her through her experiences what works for her and carries her manners and respect for others everywhere she goes until shown that a particular place or person does not return love given back. A woman completes others not competes and gives where she can when she can what she can, doesn't tolerate much but also doesn't give out the toxins that many carry which becomes parts of their habits she can also take accountability for any offence caused unintentionally find the resolution to reason learn and progress forward with those who also desire to do the same too

The important thing for me, is to treat people how they wish to be treated, and if someone has a strong need to live as or be treated as the opposite sex to which they were born, then it's very unlikely to affect anyone apart from them.

I have opinions on the validity of the nonbinary gender identities, and I think there's a lot of attention seeking loudmouthed nonsense coming from militant lunatics -- but ultimately people should be free to live and express themselves however they wish.

A woman is an adult female:

This thread and last thread indicated 2 things, born as a female, or identifies as a woman.

This makes it straight forward in my eyes, it is possible for a person born a biological male to identify as a woman, but it does not change their biological sex, it refers to their gender identity.

Again apologies, but you’re not making much sense. What does “elucidate women” mean? I’m not sure you know how to use “elucidate” correctly.

It should be relatively simple to give your definition of a woman, whatever your view.

What made me start a similar thread was because my female friend lives with a trans woman who used to be her partner before she transitioned. I did used to like her ex partner (I've only known her since her transition) but found out that this person bullies my friend and uses their taller and broader physique to intimidate.

When my friend sticks up for herself and explains she finds her intimidating she gets called transphonic.

It made me think wonder if it is possible to accept their are biological differences between trans women and biological woman that do sometimes make it less safe or fair for people born as female if they're not differentiated.

I know also that trans people are subject to unfair treatment and abuse. And I completely object to that.

But I don't like that fact that you can't raise issues on either side without being shouted down and being insulted.

If you could replace political correctness with some mutual respect then it wouldn't need to be so emotive.

Yup. That is in the dictionary. If everyone is "happy" with the dictionary definition then case closed a woman is:

It made me think wonder if it is possible to accept their are biological differences between trans women and biological woman that do sometimes make it less safe or fair for people born as female if they're not differentiated.

I know also that trans people are subject to unfair treatment and abuse. And I completely object to that.

But I don't like that fact that you can't raise issues on either side without being shouted down and being insulted.

If you could replace political correctness with some mutual respect then it wouldn't need to be so emotive."

That’s more than fair bud.

There’s idiots on both sides that need to show empathy & understanding.

"What made me start a similar thread was because my female friend lives with a trans woman who used to be her partner before she transitioned.

There's arseholes on both sides if the debate. Not sure what someone keeps in their pants has much to do with that.

It does when women with a penis get sent to a woman's jail because of PC. When they're in prison for crimes against women."

I was referring to the

'you can't raise issues on either side without being shouted down and being insulted' bit.

You can have a dick, or not have a dick, just don’t be a dick.

"Happy with the dictionary definition an adult female human being.

So you also agree with the below?

“an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth”

No. But no ill intent to those that do that

But that’s the dictionary definition?"

Not my dictionary I guess the online one has moved on with the times. I’m still happy with what I have written.

"a herd of female deer""

So would you say a trans female is a woman? No trick question and no judgement either way.

It’s a massively hot topic, but an important one imo.

Yup. That is in the dictionary. If everyone is "happy" with the dictionary definition then case closed a woman is:

1. An adult human female

2. An adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth"

Born biological female and adult = woman

Identifies as a woman not born biological female and adult = not a biological woman.

Cambridge, Merriam Webster and indeed most now have that in there… and we wonder why there’s confusion and debate.
