    I’m not trying to communicate or understand anything in particular when someone says they’re a woman.

        Because it is a useful descriptor.

            It may be describing the appearance of someone.

              What specifically about their appearance tells you they are a woman? You’ve said it’s a useful descriptor. What about their appearance does ‘woman’ describe? You’re the one claiming “woman” is a descriptor. How so? Support your claim with specific examples.

              Ps aren’t you embarrassed trying to weasel out of saying your actual opinion? Like I have transparently asked, we both know there are visual cues you’re using to define woman. The reason I’m guessing you refuse to list them, is that we know I can find a woman who doesn’t fit that mold and would still be defined by society as a woman. You’re a coward afraid of losing and intellectually dishonest.

                This is very frustrating. You’re accusing me of being disingenuous but I’m not.

                In any case, I’m really going to have to just ask you to infer how I evaluate how I evaluate which of those three people is a woman, and which is a man.

                Let’s just roll with it and see how it goes.

                One physical trait is the hairstyle.

                  Okay, what hairstyle is exclusive only to women and not accessible to men? Was Sinead O’Conner a woman?

                    I never made the claim the hairstyle was exclusive to women only.
