Well, I'm also not an American and I thought their answer was insightful and yours was dumb. We can all play this game.

Alternatively you could actual engage with the substance of the argument?

That anything can be whatever we want because everything is defined by society/culture?

It’s clear to me that these people lack real problems and are creating their own.

If you ask a biologist, you will find that categories like "woman" are not clearly defined. Even the concept of biological sex is really complicated. If you want to pretend that this stuff is all black and white, that's up to you but its not a scientifically literate perspective.

That's not the same as saying that "everything is defined by society/culture?" That's a strawman - no-one was claiming that.

In some insect, reptile or fish, like the clown fish, sure.

In mammals? It’s not. And to be more specific, in primates, it’s not.

Yeah, it really is.

Ironically, "trans women think they're women but I think they're wrong!!" is by far the least real problem being discussed here. Nobody's forcing you to have a nuanced discussion about gender. You asked how we define "woman"; this the answer.

I didn’t ask, just that it’s up for discussion is ridiculous to me, but well, some people don’t have enough issues in life it seems.
