I never understand this question being used as a gotcha. Yes a sterile woman is a woman. Pregnancy and birth are just examples demonstrating womenhood. There's also lots of other things: XX chromosome, menstruation, bone structure, physical strength, and emotional intelligence just to name a few.
- skinnymuch 5y agoEmotional intelligence? In what way? Are there studies that are able to exclude societal effects that demonstrate these differences? Physical strength, menstruation, and others can all happen for a transitioned person as well.
- da39a3ee 4y agoObviously a male -> female trans person cannot menstruate. Are you pointing out that a female -> male trans person can menstruate? Yes, they can, because they are still biologically female. I didn't get your point re. menstruation here.
- skinnymuch 4y agoI mistyped. I meant can get some of the symptoms. I was wrong to write menstruation. I know this isn’t the exact pr or topic but since the overall point is about how the lines are blurred more than “tradition”, intersex people can menstruate and some have almost or every biological female issue. Intersex people are not a part of “traditional” feminism. To my bigger point I sent to the other commenter, the status quo and how things have historically been for issues like identity, gender, sexuality, end up not being looked upon favorably and first world societies have consistently albeit slowly progressed on them. I realize I am committing some fallacies by not sticking to the exact comment/topic. However I saw you edited your comment from being aggressive to respectful/kind so I thought I’d go for it.
