I didn't ask what makes you believe/accept someone is a woman, anyone can accept anothers perspetive.

  If that's not what you're asking for, then it seems you're asking for a flowchart that determine's someone's gender. Gender being a social construct (as opposed to sex) there is no decisive flowchart other than: ask them; accept the answer. If you want something generally accurate, I stand behind what I said above.

    Cool, as long as we're saying that 'woman' is a mindset and not a set of verifiable attributes. Does everyone take "woman" as this meaning though, or is this the root of the confusion that everyone has ?

      "mindset" is actually a pretty reasonable descriptor I think (I'm not an expert though). I think a lot of the confusion does come from people having a hard time separating "what does this person want me to call them" from "how do I treat this person". I think (again, I speak only for myself, and I'm not even trans) most trans people would be happy to be called their chosen pronouns and treated in a neutral way. There is a lot of history backing up a more constrained interpretation of gender and interpersonal relationships, and the present situation is definitely outside many people's comfort zone.

    Ah, long as we're clear on the fact that they are two different things. I'm good with that.
