So I& #39;m getting slightly bored of repeating myself constantly to people with crazy belief systems, so I thought I& #39;d do a little thread so I can share that instead.

What IS a woman?
"A women is anyone who feels like a woman"
This handy (stolen) flow chart shows why that is absolute nonsense.

"Well a women can& #39;t be biological because sex is a spectrum"
No. Sex in humans is binary. What makes you a women is if you should have, or do, or did, produce a large gamete (egg).
There is no third gamete. There is no third sex.

" Literally thousands of scientists signed a letter disagreeing with you"
No, no they didn& #39;t. Gender identity and biological sex are two different things. 4/ https://twitter.com/SwipeWright/status/1230669193529479168?s=20">https://twitter.com/SwipeWrig...

"Well, what about intersex people?"
Unsurprisingly i knew you& #39;d go there, despite people with disorders of sexual development REPEATEDLY telling you not to use their conditions for your gender woo battles. 6/

Intersex people SHOULD have produced, either the large or small gametes. Of cause they are still either women or men. Why don& #39;t you follow some actual intersex people so you can find out more? @intersexfacts is a good place to start.
"I& #39;m going to ignore what you& #39;ve written and quote the "Sex redefined" paper from the Scientific American at you, I haven& #39;t read it, but it makes me look clever "
That& #39;s lovely. The author of that paper says this: 8/

"I& #39;m going to ignore what you& #39;ve written and find some extremely rare DSD and try and use it to disprove what you& #39;re saying"
That& #39;s also lovely. The answers to questions can be found on this thread. Sex is still binary. 9/ https://twitter.com/zaelefty/status/1255539339003662341?s=20">https://twitter.com/zaelefty/...

"OMG YOU ARE SAYING INFERTILE WOMEN AREN& #39;T WOMEN"
That& #39;s a reading comprehension issue you& #39;ve got there mate. Try reading my tweet again. Think about the "should" or the "did" words.

"I thought women don& #39;t want to be constrained by their biology"
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙄" title="Face with rolling eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Face with rolling eyes"> Our biology is a fact, it& #39;s what makes us women, and the majority of issues we face come from that. If you can& #39;t define a woman, you can& #39;t protect their rights. See also https://twitter.com/Morrissey_MyE/status/1254351706877505536?s=20">https://twitter.com/Morrissey...
Getting desperate now? Why not try the old "lady brains" argument.
That& #39;s amazing. You know brains are plastic right? So they develop according to the stimulus they are given? But you still want to argue? Go get destroyed here. https://twitter.com/artificialnix/status/999085811458084864?s=20">https://twitter.com/artificia...

"I& #39;m very clever Fausto- Sterling, Merps, Derps, wobble and wibble"
Yeah, apparently that was all tongue in cheek. Soz.

"What can I do to prevent me looking ridiculous regarding this topic in the future?"
Well, you could read this archived (not behind paywall) article for a start? Humans can not change sex. It& #39;s impossible.
