    That you are using these definitions to define womanhood when they are the two most frequently used to discredit mine.

    You are not a woman because of your sex, nor are you a woman because of what society told you to be/do growing up.

      We are talking about women’s roles as protectors. Context matters.

      I am not saying that those criteria define women.

      Who says you can’t change your sex? I for one think it’s perfectly possible to do so. Sure, some people like to latch onto a chromosomal definition. But people latch onto that simply because it’s the one option that allows them to nearly-universally exclude trans people.
