> Such as? You seem sure these exist, but are refusing to elaborate I don't know what you are asking here. "What is a woman?" Should be a fair question if "trans women are women" is taken to be true. > What exactly is meant to be a similar problem here that exists depending on the answer to that question? The point is the when the question is asked, it isn't answered, and treated as being asked in bad faith. The reason is any answer given is likely to be a problem (i.e. offend someone) so it's simply avoided. It's maybe reasonable to avoid "gotcha" questions, but some questions (i.e. on the basic premise of your position) shouldn't be so.

Again, what position? You keep saying "this question needs an answer"...in what context? For example, "we're building a bridge", "but sir, can you define 'what is a woman?'". "I believe we should protect the environment" "But your supported political candidate wants to rollback legislation which would specifically protect the waterways and forests you claim are important from industrial dumping of toxic chemicals" is rather more relevant. Like that's a question which needs an answer, because the positions are mutually contradictory. What contradictory position is being not answered by "what is a woman?"
