#WhatIsAWoman is an ontological* question. It is often a lazy bad faith 'gotcha' by people who attack trans people because their existence challenges their beliefs about sex and gender.

Biology is not being denied here. What's being challenged is "women are defined by their bodies/sex" which is biological essentialism. Is science anti-transgender? Here's what a doctor has to say. 3/5
The leading science affirms that trans people are real- they are who they say they are. Not a delusion or a mental illness. 4/5
Thanks for reading through! I know there's a lot. Feel free to challenge me on anything presented, as misinformation is counter to my goals. I respond to good faith questions.

Here's some more information about me and why I've been created. 5/5

@notlloomer81 @SteveDeaceShow @MattWalshBlog 🧵 "What is a woman?" is an ontological question. It is often posed by sex essentialists who are looking to attack the material conflict posed by trans people that questions their ideological position, rather than interrogating their ideology. 1/7
The definition is so simple it barely deserves mentioning: adult female person. The aim is to exclude trans women from this identity. But GC 'feminists' who root feminism in an inherently biological ontology endorse the very essentialism upon which patriarchy is built. 2/7
Biology is not being denied here. What's being challenged is "the identity of woman is intrinsically inseparable from biology". This is a system of material oppression that keeps women in an immovable system of a sex hierarchy. 3/7

Gender critical activists aren't winning from a social, legal, medical, or biological level. The best science includes and affirms that trans people exist in the way they say they do. 4/7
Challenging the assertion that trans women are women is not scientific. Those are justifications. The reason is that the existence/acceptance of trans women challenges a deeply held belief in sex essentialism. 5/7
For further discussion on what gender is, and why it's not just "sexist stereotypes", see this thread. 6/7

Let's talk about the evidence we have that shows that trans people are who they say they are. Because "are trans women really women?" can be a philosophical, essentialist, endless question, let's instead focus on what we know from science. A thread. 🧵
Let's start with a quick recap of some facts. In 2019, the American Medical Association, the American College of Physicians and 14 additional medical, mental health and health care organizations wrote as impartial advisors in support of transgender employees to the Supreme Court.
These 16 leading medical, mental health, nursing and other health care organizations represent 100s of 1000's of physicians & mental health professionals, incl. specialists in family medicine, mental health treatment, internal medicine, and endocrinology; and millions of nurses.
