If you disagree with the dictionary definitions of male and female, you should take it up with them and the science that is behind the definitions.
The dictionary definition says "typically." So that implies there are atypical men and atypical women.
You just can't get enough of logical fallacies. You're conflating "There are only two sexes" (true) with "Every human must fit the platonic ideal of their sex for there to be two sexes" (false). The fact that Caster Semenya doesn't have a recognisable penis or visible testicles doesn't mean Semenya isn't male.

A new game I've started playing this year is holding my breath until JAHJ or someone else brings up DSD people in trans threads to obfuscate, deflect and legitimize people who think they can change their sex.
I keep wondering what the breaking point on this crap will be. It has to be coming at some point. My guess is it will be a woman/girl suffering a broken neck in a contact sport at the hands of a "fellow" woman/girl. In a non-dangerous sport like track or swimming, people can make just enough excuses for why it's okay to just not do anything about this.
We need hundreds and hundreds of men pretending to be women to do this. Fight the absurd with the absurd. We need an NCAA final that's all men, we need NCAA women's basketball dominated by guys that would be intermural players on campus.
As long as this is just one guy here or there, everyone will just look the other way.

Do it. You guys are always saying that you’ll do something like this. Do it. If you know you have a sure fire solution to a problem (you don’t, by the way. I am humoring you. Also, there is no problem that even needs a solution in this scenario), then put it into action.
Transwomen are women. Women compete with women. It’s simple. And yet, we’ve got conservatives on this board asking “what is a woman?” And looking up the word in the dictionary to try and understand a very basic fact.

Wrong, transwomen aren't women. They are mentally ill men pretending to be women. Just like Harrison Ford isn't actually Indiana Jones, these men are not women. They do their best to imitate women, and that's fine. That's their choice with what they want to do with their lives. But those of us who are sane don't need to go along with their act.

Are you calling Harrison Ford mentally ill? I don’t think you know how analogies work.
Ask anyone who opposes trans participation in sports whether they believe it is even possible to be transgender, and they will start replying about a slippery slope of people identifying as horses or couches. They base their opinions on emotion, not logic.
Why have a woman's category any longer? Much more straightforward to have one category that includes males and females and transgenders and nonbinaries, and any other human. Title IX was passed to provide equal opportunities for females but having only one category is the cleanest way to accomplish that.

Logically speaking, does calling yourself something make you that thing?
Good question. They should want out of the lgbtq community because the other people are defined in that group want to be defined by their actions. Heterosexual women aren't in there.
Why do you think that? If they are women, why do they need the "trans" modifier?
I agree. We should just call them all women. I said “transwomen are women” because if I had just said “women are women,” some slack-jawed yokel would say, “well goldarn-it, he just plum admitted that trans womens ain’t women’s after all.”
I have to use it for the time being so that I don’t have to argue semantics with smooth-brained losers.
Harrison Ford isn't mentally ill because he knows that he is getting paid to pretend. Some actors have lost vast amounts of weight for roles. They got as skinny as anorexic people but they weren't mentally ill. But transgender people are not acting. They believe they are somebody else. Anorexic people believe that they need to lose more weight. Actors are not mentally ill while anorexic people and transgender people are.

You are the one acting on emotion. Logically and truthfully speaking, these individuals were born as males and have the characteristics of males. That is not emotion, that's fact. On the other hand "identifying" as such and such, women in this case, is emotion. People now sieve you can identify as a cat or handicapped person or someone of another race. I suppose ypu would say that's ridiculous, at least I hope you would. But it is no more ridiculous than a man thinking they can become a women.

And lo and behold, I'm still alive.
But kiltedrunner isn't the first poster to bring up DSDs on this thread. True to form, JAHJ was the first. In post #48 on page 3, JAHJ brought up a DSD condition and linked to a source describing it.
Also true to form, the DSD that JAHJ brought up this time as always is one that occurs only in males.
Transwomen are transwomen. Please respect their transgender rights, which are different from women’s rights.
Women have XX chromosomes and have the biological potential during early- to mid-adulthood to produce eggs, and carry, give birth to, and provide milk to offspring.

Why would any guy want to do that? Is he like a WWE heel that loves the sound of booing? His girlfriend would dump him, his family would disown him and he would lose his friends. There would also be the threat of violence from the female players boyfriends and family or a random guy like Deno. The intermural guys wouldn’t be eligible and no coach would allow them on the team anyway.
Just like the last 5 years, or so, it will always be one transgender female here or there.
