I have definitely seen some bad science promoted for trans rights. But I don't really think "science" tells us what a women is, that's a social issue.

- DiogenesKynikos 4y agoIt's clearly a scientific issue, but also a social issue. There is a scientific definition of what a woman is, and there is a social definition (which is very close to the scientific definition, but which does depend a bit on culture and which can change over time). A lot of the debate comes from people talking past one another, without acknowledging that they're using the same word to discuss different topics.
