    Sounds like a problem for their doctor or a scientist, there isnt anywhere else it would matter about their biological status. So a woman is someone that says they are a woman.

      “It’s complicated” is probably better for doctors and scientists. The other day I was filling out a “women only” medical form and about half of the questions were relevant to me.

      And for a scientist, what exactly are they studying? For social science or psychology I’m an outlier no matter which gender or sex box you put me in; for reproductive stuff I’m closer to male but still somewhat of an outlier (because hormones); for various other medical things I’m closer to female (hormones again); neurologically idk, but there’s evidence trans people tend to not match their AGAB here.

      But yeah, normal people shouldn’t care about any of that when just talking to me.
