Feel free to build social theories to explain why some humans want to fulfill a societal role associated with the sex opposite to the one they were born as, but expecting science to conform to said social ideals is just plain denial of reality.

Also allow me to simply frame all the exotic "genders" like "genderfluid". They are people with mental illnesses of varying severity that need access to affordable psychological care to help them deal with their dysphoria. Yapping about their denial of reality will not help in the long term.

No, its not, do you even know how many other possible combination there are, not to mention the fact that x and y can both be damaged and essentially be something else too?

You started by saying you want it to be simple so that there its easy to distinguish between man and women and now you have hundreds of different biological genders that would require advanced testing beyond just simple genetics and into to chromosomal makeup.

This is why we're still researching jimbo. The fuck you think scientists would be doing if we knew everything? That doesn't mean someone with XY chromosomes claiming to be a biological female is correct. That was the point of my argument.

Also yes, an explicit chromosomal mapping (XX -> female) is objectively a simple system when compared to a system based on, for example, societal aspects (identifying as a female -> female).

No it makes someone with a slightly damaged X or Y no longer qualify as a biological female because they are some other vague ambiguous gender instead.

The counter is that biology is not as simple as you want to make it, perfectly formed XX and XY are far from the only combinations of human chromosomes.

I do agree with this but it's simpler in the sense that "how long is a piece of string" is easy to understand, but impossible to definitively resolve. In terms of implementation - we intuitively have always known how to identify women, there's a litany of societal issues now as a result of the contradiction inherent in your definition

>If your definitions have edge cases, it proves they are not the simple universal truths you are trying to make them out to be.
It is a simple universal truth if you separate the edge cases, on account of them disrupting biological development. Additionally if you want to include these edge cases, you are necessarily ignoring the plainly obvious evolutionary pathway behind sexual dimorphism. Additionally x2 - these sexual roles still apply perfectly to animals in any biology textbook and inside your brain, it's only humans where you create this bait and switch to undermine our biological understanding
>It shows me that men and women can be damaged, they don't have to fit some perfect ideal you are trying to concoct.
They don't have to fit a perfect ideal. Science isn't concerned with that. The concern is to do with identifying phenomena as they appear in reality. Sexual dimorphism in mammals is one such phenomena, and no amount of you tipping the scales by including edge cases will change the persistence of these phenomena.

That would be creating a new goal for the word 'universe', the word itself doesn't matter. The idea it is attempting to convey is what matters. When we talk about sex, we are talking about the sexual dimorphic system which evolution has produced. Use any word you want for this, it doesn't matter, but by confabulating with edge cases you are attempting to disregard this empirical and measurable aspect of reality

As soon as we say trans women are actually women, we immediately create they need for a new term to refer to real women with. E.g. 'birthing person', 'person with a womb', etc, these terms are necessary because women as a unique group exist in reality, and that group does NOT include trans women

>No, there are plenty of animals that defy sexual binaries, we just tend to breed the ones that are easiest to distinguish and people don't care so much about animals so you can just put the ones that don't meet your criteria straight into the grinder or incinerator.
I never said every animal fits into sexual binaries. What we do with animals that don't is create new sexual descriptors, e.g. sequential hermaphrodites. To restate my point: these terms are describing phenomena, and no sane biologist will argue against using these terms

>Except, of course, when you are saying that science is concerned with limited who can be a man or woman to people with specific undamaged chromosomal makeups.
Yes, what's the issue with that? We create categories based on things observed in reality, you are trying to conflate things from different categories, in order to disregard one of these categories

You're arguing in bad faith. The existence of genetic diseases giving rise to so called "intersex" individuals in no way validates elective gendering of the general population, especially given that they themselves do not even have those conditions.
If you want to make a logical argument as to why a completely genetically normal XY man whose sex related genes are all being expressed normally is, in fact, a woman, then do that. Do not attempt to muddy the waters by denying the biological determinants of sex and then skipping to gender fluidity based on whim.

That's right on a deeper intuitive level yes, but the language shared socially and publicly is different - "trans women are women".

Confusion between sex (biological), gender (linguistic), and sexual stereotype (social), due to a lack of linguistic education. I want to vent a bit about genders here as an enthusiast of linguistics.

The English word "gender" ultimately came from the Latin word "genus", which just means "kind, type, class". When English first borrowed this word through French, it was only used as a linguistic terminology synonymous to "noun class", more on that later. Then it developed a second, broader meaning, synonymous to Latin "genus". Later it developed a third, narrower meaning, synonymous to "sex" (the result of applying the second meaning only to humans, compare Latin "mulierum genus"). These are all perfectly reasonable semantic shifts, but problems arise when the second meaning "kind, type, class" fell into disuse, and retards were starting to conflate the first meaning (type of words) and the third meaning (type of humans).

I am going to use the first meaning of "gender" as a linguistic terminology throughout the rest. Three things need to be made clear:
1. Things do not have genders, humans do not have genders, only words can have genders, and different words referring to the same thing or the same human can have different genders.
2. The gender of a word is more or less arbitrary. We can find patterns relating it to the meaning and the sound of the word, but exceptions always occur.
3. Genders in a language can be, and often are, completely unrelated to sexes.

Some examples of genders: Bantu languages have about a dozen genders, which also absorb the number system (singular, plural), none of them is related to male/female. Berber languages have 2 genders, one for male animals, big things and, apparently, "fruits in general", the other one for female animals, small things and, apparently, "fruits in particular". Depending on analyses, there is a gender in Mandarin that only have two words: the word for horses and the word for fabric. The masculine/feminine/neuter trichotomy in Indo-European languages was originally an animate/abstract/inanimate trichotomy, the late Proto-Indo-Europeans may have, for some reasons, considered women to be abstract beings.

But these are almost all irrelevant, as Modern English does not really have a gender system. Old English had one, in which the direct ancestor of the word "woman", "wifmann" (literally "female-person"), was masculine - this is a perfect example of arbitrariness of genders; it does not suggest that Anglo-Saxon women were tomboys before the Norman invasion. The only remnants of a full masculine/feminine/neuter gender trichotomy in Modern English are the singular personal pronouns "he", "she", "it". This is an unstable system, as nouns do not have gender, and other pronouns only retain common/neuter dichotomy (who/what). I predict that based on phonological similarity, the nominative "he" and "she" would first merge in some dialects, followed by analogies in other cases, mirroring the developments in Dutch.

Now finally, we get into prescriptivism vs. descriptivism. Prescriptivism is to dictate how people should speak a language, descriptivism is to observe how people actually speak a language, and linguistics has been relied on the latter since it became a science. Thus, to study the trichotomy between "he", "she", "it", or the meaning of the word "woman", one need to observe how native speakers actually use these words, not to make up "rules" or "definitions" for these basic words and punish those who do not obey them. The one who speaks decides which word they use to refer to another person, not the one who is referred to. To punish people for "misgendering", is essentially to punish people for speaking a specific dialect - just think of a highly probable future dialect where "he" and "she" are merged.

This problem - people dictate where they should have been observing - appears in both linguistic and social matters. Instead of "Some native speakers of English only refer to anyone known to have XX chromosomes as 'she', thus the personal pronouns of English are related to sexual chromosomes", they say "I have decided that troons must be referred to as 'she', thus anyone who don't do so are literal Hitlers!". Instead of "Some young males are starting to wear dresses, this might suggest a change of the male stereotype", they say "I have decided that only femoids like wearing dresses, thus these males are actually femoids!"

>A woman is anyone who says they are a woman

This definition is actually not self-referential, because the "woman" inside the definition is just a meaningless symbol, just 2 syllables /wʊmən/ that someone utters. It is a valid definition, if a retarded one, and as a non-native speaker, I am forced to accept it if the majority of native speakers of English are this retarded. The problem does not lie in self-referencing, but in translating: how can you translate such a word?

As a native speaker of Mandarin, I am going to describe 2 Mandarin words and how I use them. "男人", reads nánrén, literally "male-person", "女人", reads nǚrén, literally "female-person", I call someone a "男人" if they have XY chromosomes, call someone a "女人" if they have XX chromosome, and I would call someone neither these words if they have neither XX nor XY chromosomes. I used to translate them as "man" and "woman" respectively in English, but after seeing your definition, I can no longer do so, as my native usage of these words has nothing similar to your definition. There is also a fantasic Old English word that I used to translate as "man", but can no longer do so: "wæpnedmann", which literally means "penis-person". How do you translate these word into your personal dialect of Modern English, and how do you translate "man" and "woman" into Mandarin?

Even the new view of gender is wrong, it's about the generation you derived from. Such as trendy, goth, Victorian.

To illustrate further, I am going to create a new word for my personal dialect of English: "gruddurb", which means anyone who says they are a gruddurb. How can you translate this word into Mandarin, by only looking at its definition? Sure, you can try transliteration: "格鲁德尔布" (Pinyin: gé lǔ dé ěr bù), but what about the definition? If you try "任何说自己是格鲁德尔布的人", the result is "anyone who says they are a gé lǔ dé ěr bù", then a gruddurb (who says they are a gruddurb) would not be a 格鲁德尔布 (who says they are a gé lǔ dé ěr bù). Indeed, we must keep the original word in the translated definition: "任何说自己是gruddurb的人".

By this analogy, I hope you see the problem here: by your definition of "woman", only those who already know the Modern English word "woman" can possibly be a woman. So the question is, can Chinks be women? I have wondered about this several times myself.

That's not how etymology works. English "gender" < French "gendre" < Latin "genus" (ablative "genere")
>new view
The linguistic terminology is from the 14th century, it is the oldest meaning of this word.

Seen that so many times on that leftist website. Take a look at the heritable of intelligence, or god forbid race and IQ.

Wiki admins can't cope with simple reasoning:
Intelligence is demonstrably influenced by genetics because you can't raise a dog as a human baby and expect it to be as smart as man.
Leftists require that you can raise a dog as a human and it gain our intelligence, otherwise their mantra of all people being equally intelligent if it weren't for capitalism not giving free schools falls to pieces.
