I sure haven't read all of your close to 16,000 posts.
I have read everything you posted in this thread. In this thread, it has been pointed out repeatedly (by me and others) that not all trans people are biologically unambiguously of the opposite sex of the one they want to be.
Every fucking time, you reacted with handwaving.
It is not handwaving to say a transwoman has to not be a woman. If they were already a woman, there'd be no trans to speak of. Transwomen are not women by definition.
By definition, a transwoman is a person who was not previously
considered a woman and now wants to be considered as one. That is, ironically, a question of gender, not of sex
Whether she
is or
was a woman by sex (and in what sense) is an entirely different question.
A genetically male person who was assigned female at birth (with or without functioning testes that didn't migrate as they typically do during embryonal development) is a
cis woman if she chooses to continue living as a woman. It is only by virtue of being
raised as a boy that she can become a trans woman.
Again, that's a question of gender, not sex.
Let us grant for the sake of the argument that the meaning of 'trans woman', 'cis woman', etc., are as you say (I'm not actually taking a stance on whether that is the case one way or the other, but just going with it).
Suppose A is a 45-years old trans woman. Suppose A has a penis, testicles, etc., no vagina, ovaries, etc., and so on. Let us further stipulate (why not?) that A is sexually attracted to (some) people with vaginas, not to people with penises. As A is a trans woman, A "was not previously
considered a woman and now wants to be considered as one". Alright. But what does "woman" mean in your sentences? Does it mean 1995-English 'woman'? Or does it mean 2020-English-'woman'? Or does the word 'woman' has not changed its meaning from 1995 to 2020?
We have the following options.
1. The concepts are not the same, and you meant 2020-English 'woman'.
As there was no word in 1995 in common use in English that meant the same as 2020-English 'woman', and people did not make assessments as to whether others were 2020-English women, then it seems no one was in 1995 considered a 2020-English woman. Granted, many were considered 1995-English women, but that is a different category. So, it follows that any person who now wants to be considered a woman - that is, any 2020-English woman- was not considered in 1995 a 2020-English woman. Assuming the person was an adult in 1995, that person is a trans woman. Then, I reckon that there are at least tens of millions of trans women in America, Australia and the UK, who fail to realize that they are trans women, and who are regularly misclassified as cis women by the Woke. They too, if they use those terms, mistankely believe themselves to be cis women, even though they are trans women.
It might be argued that even if English lacked a term that meant the same as 2020-English 'woman', people were regularly classifying others into the category picked by the term 'woman' in its 2020-English meaning. But that would be rather puzzling. If people keep making this categorization, why would they not coin a word for it? It would seem socially relevant. So, what is the evidence in support of this hypothesis?
2. The concepts are not the same, and you meant 1995-English 'woman'.
So, A was not previously considered a 1995-English woman, but now wants to be considered as a 1995-English woman. But what is the evidence supporting the claim that A is a 1995-English woman? I have not seen anything remotely compelling. It would require both a combination of linguistic evidence, and evidence from minds/brains. If you have enough evidence, I am listening.
3. The term 'woman' has not changed its meaning from 1995 to 2020. But then, we are in situation 2. again. What is the evidence supporting the claim that A is a woman?
3. 1.-3. are false and you meant 2020-English 'woman'. However, there were a few, tiny proportion of people who classified themselves and other people according to the category given by 2020-English 'woman' in 1995, and that's enough.
But the problem here is that those who did not meet any of those people using this odd classification were not classified as 2020-English women, and so if they want to be classified as such, they are people who were not previously considered 2020-English women, and now want to be considered as such. In other words, those would all be trans women, mistakenly believing that they are not so.
6. There were really tiny changes in meaning, so we can reasonably identify them for the relevant intents and purposes, so it's a reasonable approximation. I'm not sure how the logic would work, but that aside (though I might address it later if you pick this one, depending on your reply), again, what is the evidence that A is a woman by a concept that is almost the same as 1995-English 'woman'? What are the really tiny changes in the concepts that makes this option correct?
7. Other. Please explain in this case.
