The answer is the logic-crushing foundation upon which trans ideology is built:
"If the words man and woman were meaningless, trans people wouldn't exist, and man means anyone who identifies as man and woman means anyone who identifies as woman."
On the one hand, maybe the word "woman" means "anyone who calls themselves 'woman'", but on the other hand, maybe it is in fact a remarkably accretionary millenia-old palimsest hurtling through space and time like a shapeless meteorite with a vibrant trail.
What is a woman, Emily?
What is a woman, Christyn?
What is a woman, Sunshine?
What is a woman, Lauren?
What is a woman, AHfaerie?
What is a woman, Sophia?
What is a woman, Dr. Melanie?

I have been suspected of being a bot and of making up all the comments, which fair enough, hard to believe so many people use definitions as merry-go-rounds, so here are the receipts:
Germany was all set to adopt its self-ID law, but thanks to women's campaigning, the minister of Justice has had a belated realization that this would abolish women's rights to single-sex spaces, and so for now it's on hold.
Minister @MarcoBuschmann's reasoning is bizarre & vague however.
He says for example a woman running a women-only sauna should be able to protect the privacy of her customers by deciding on the basis of someone's "external appearance".
Because he doesn't want to say "male sex".
@MarcoBuschmann He says the self-ID law should not force business owners running single-sex services into a situation where women would sue them for breach of the German equality law.
NOW they're thinking about it.
(This law was supposed to have been adopted a while ago)
The @guardian serves up some more lies today in a puff piece on male Thai media tycoon and trans lobbyist J. Jakraputhatip, who they say is "the first woman to own the Miss Universe Organization."
Meanwhile, the Russian political opposition in exile abroad is falling all over itself in invective and rage at EU countries, especially Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Finland, for not having taken in a quarter of a million Russian men of military age.
Fine opposition there.
This fine Russian liberal uses the trolley problem to draw the conclusion that the Lithuanian minister of foreign affairs @GLandsbergis is responsible for the deaths of Russian men mobilized by Putin.
Disgusting.
@GLandsbergis Scratch the surface, there's the same old Russian imperialism:
Countries formerly occupied by Russia:
a) must place Russian interests above their own
b) owe Russians salvation
c) must do as Russians say
d) are to blame for Russia's crimes
I always thought the revolts in Russia would start in the Caucasus, and here they are. Smart & well-informed women in Daghestan tell the police trying to draft the men for Putin's insane war: "It's Russia that attacked Ukraine! No to war!"
Drunken goodbye party for mostly ethnic Kazakhs from the Volgograd region, being sent off by Putin to kill and die for him. Though they look like they believe they're off on a picnic.
1. Russia has to win so Ukrainians can live more peacefully and our boys can come home. 2. Ukraine will be a second-rate state. And we'll take that land back. 3. We're apolitical. All that matters is everyone should live well, both here and over there.
4. We're going to kick out that Nazi carrion. We didn't finish them off in WWII, so we'll finish them off now. 5. We'll take all those poor [Ukrainian] citizens under our wing, and all will be well. I think Putin will create better living conditions for them.
Russian vox pop 3/
6. No idea. Victory for Russia. 7. Ukraine has to be wiped off the face of the earth. Who needs it anyway? And Poland next.
