Yes exactly. So what they’re implying is that we need to be sympathetic to this “spectrum” of womanhood by agreeing that infertile women are still women even if they can’t reproduce. What they’re missing is that they’re saying that unless you jump through all their categorization hoops, that you’re the one implying that infertile women are somehow lesser. Of course what we’re saying is that womanhood isn’t defined by outcomes such as having children, or roles such as the vacuumer (it’s in the episode…), but is instead a fact. By treating the categories of women and men as anything other than biological fact when focusing on the idea of “gender” only water down and lessens their meanings. Which we only can assume is their ultimate goal.

[@k.a6614]

Womanhood isn't a feeling , personality trait , dress code or lifestyle. It's about being a female human , having female organs , chromosome , and being born as one.humans having 2 sexes isn't a political statement , it's a scientific fact and should be treated as one.

I think femininity is beautiful, not just the stereotypes of it. And I think masculinity is beautiful, too, and not just the stereotypes of it.

Asking to define a woman so easily breaks the non-binary argument. They say "I can't define it, everyone has their own definition". Yeah well I can. And my definition can be applied to literally every person who has ever existed. If you can't define a woman then how do you know you are or aren't one? Why does the word exist if it's just some made up word that doesn't mean anything? The best part of defining women and men on their preproduction traits is that it still leaves people open to be what they want. You can wear make up, put on dresses, and still be a man. More power to you. Doesn't mean men and women don't exist.

Speaking as a biological female with a uterus left non-functional due to disease, it personally makes me sick to hear terms like "birthing person" which essentially drags all females back down to whether or not the baby oven works. Something females have fought against for literal centuries, and we were finally making some ground. A good friend of mine asked me why it's such a thing to me, and I outlined a fairly recent occurrence. My mother was an army Sargeant, she was literally trained how to kill, very efficiently, and yet, while waiting for a ferry dock to open, she had to sit in her car for almost 3 hours in the smallest hours of the day in a very bad part of Seattle, Washington. I stayed on the phone with her, ready to call for help at the first sign of something I didn't like. I then asked my male friend if he and his former service member father would be so jumpy in the same circumstance. He was silent for a moment, and then admitted they wouldn't. This is not to say that men are in any less danger in that situation, but the result of that danger is radically different for men and women. Once he understood that, he knew why this upsets me so much. And finally, as someone whose uterus was DESTROYED by endometriosis... no, a period is not "cravings." Those... things, claiming such, can get bent. Heartfelt.

There are men that have feminine features and there are women that have masculine features. Neither is a "must be" for that is not the way physiology works. The world has benefited from an untold number of people, past and present, that preferred their same-sex in their relationships with others. The glaring problem today comes from the small percentage of mostly men that want to take what they can from areas that have historically been set aside strictly for women and young girls. They suffer from narcissistic behavior and they are very, very selfish with little to no regard to those that they hurt or that will be hurt in the future.

If someone can call themselves a woman by putting on a skirt and makeup and that's it, then isn't that just devolving womanhood to clothing and aesthetics? What does that mean for women who don't wear makeup and wear suits-- doesn't that logic deem them to not be women? It'd make so much more sense (and be far, far easier) if we just said "women and men are terms to define sex, wear whatever the hell you want because it's a free country." Plus, it's taking away time and attention that could be devoted to issues relating to transgender people, and instead convolutes and polarizes the political arena so no progress is actually made. They're like the students you had in every classroom who nitpicked and argued with the teacher on everything, so nothing ever actually got taught.

From violent offenders identifying as women to be put in a female prison, to competing in sports that are taking limited numbers of scholarships away from woman. Speaking of sports, we keep talking about making a space for trans people, but we're not. We're just letting them take women's spots.

Yes. Because they are men. I will not generalize men, but most men are easier at putting their needs before others without feeling any burden. Most women keep themselves to themselves, feel that they can't take the lead without first proving themselves. This is also what creates the so called wage-gap: men demand raises more easily then women, hence they can eventually make more money for semi-the same job. These men show this male aspect: they demand their place. They are in every aspect of their behaviour still men, hence the way they take the spotlight with more ease. Almost every trans man I have seen keeps the reserved and shy-er attitude that women have. Even though many trans claim to be the other sex, in 99% of the cases their behaviour and attitude shows their actual biology..

This is a challenging one for me. I have a lot of friends who self-identify as "non-binary" and have gender dysphoria. Most of them are female with a fully functioning female reproductive system.

I started talking about my menstrual cycle as being related to my womanhood and it angered (triggered) my friends. This was the last straw for me because all of these people are female and know what it is like to menstruate. So how can they erase womanhood so easily? Just because they have personal problems with being a woman. Its sad. Also- I think a hot take would be talking about how endocrine-disrupting chemicals put into beauty products/food/water/everything are actually dysregulating people's hormones from a young age and might be a part of people having gender dysphoria.

There has been transgender people since time immemorial, but traditional cultures had a place for them as shamans etc. I think the prevalence of this is just a litmus test of how sick our world has gotten.

I just hate that they say certain things like "you're reducing woman to their genitals/reproductive organs". like I dont get offended at that because its the truth and woman is what I am not who. I dont treat my womanhood like a zodiac sign or personality type. that fact shouldn't be offensive. you're not reducing elephants to their trunks by saying only elephants have them.

They're reducing womanhood to nothing more than a feeling, I find that WAY more offensive. In doing that, it also reduces all the hardships and other experiences I've had specifically as a woman, such as giving birth to my 3 kids, my awful 3rd pregnancy and my life as a mother. I'm respectful towards people that are trans, I'll even use the pronouns they want...as long as the choices are he/her/she/him, but I will never state that a transwoman is a woman. My speech won't be compelled either, if I use she/her pronouns for a transwoman, it is because that's what *_*I*_* chose to do, not because they're trying to force me. Which is why I _won't_ use their pronouns if they're authoritarian about it, I have no respect for those people.

It is like genetics don't exist and play no part in the construction of your being, it's crazy

I think being a woman depends on whether or not you got a vagina.... No? 😂😂😂

What's interesting is that as a culture we've become so dissociated from physical reality that our bodies can be seen as something we can be emancipated from. Being female has everything to do with what I am. The hormonal cycles that govern the ebb and flow of my life are beyond my genitals. We are not simply floating heads attached to a meat bag. The whole thing is integrated.
