What is a Woman

Use this philosophy forum to discuss and debate general philosophy topics that don't fit into one of the other categories.

This forum is NOT for factual, informational or scientific questions about philosophy (e.g. "What year was Socrates born?"). Those kind of questions can be asked in the off-topic section.

Postmodern gender theory (the postmodern critical theory of gender as a branch of postmodern critical theory) does deny that having a penis means being male or a boy/man! According to it, transwomen with penises are women!

The German transsexual politician Tessa Ganserer seriously said in an interview:

"Ein Penis ist nicht per se ein männliches Geschlechtsorgan."
"A penis isn't per se a male sex organ."


What is described in the following quote is what I call postmodern gender theory:

QUOTE>
"Gender as identity. There is no sex/gender distinction, there is only gender. Sex, the idea that humans can be sorted into two biological types, male and female, is an outdated concept. Sex is a spectrum; or there are many different sexes; or there is really no such thing as sex, just a set of bad ideas imposed onto arbitrary features of bodies. Whatever sex is or was, it doesn’t matter anymore. What matters is gender, in particular, gender understood as identity. Every human person has a gender identity, at minimum ‘man’, ‘woman’, or ‘nonbinary’. This new way of sorting people into categories supersedes sex, but takes over the role that sex used to play, for example as the basis of romantic and sexual attractions between people, or as the trait determining which social spaces can be appropriately used. According to this view, transwomen are women, transmen are men, and nonbinary people are neither women nor men. A transwoman belongs on a women’s sports team, or in a women’s prison, or in a women’s domestic violence refuge. Same-sex attractions are ‘transphobic’. Women-centred language is ‘exclusionary’ if it refers to biological traits. Wearing pxssy hats and t-shirts with uteruses printed on them to the women’s march is bad; it suggests a connection between women and vulvas, women and uteruses. But some men have vulvas and uteruses (transmen), and some women don’t (transwomen).

<QUOTE
It is nonsense like this that brings us to the question: then, what is a man or a woman? If "there is really no such thing as sex", then there's really no such thing as man, woman, male or female. By definition, trans binarism excludes trans non-binarism, so how can you reconcile both? What is the reference point from which the binary categories are assigned?

Anyway, we might ask advocacy groups involved in changing policies related to transgenderism, such as the National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE), what is all about being a woman or a man. In the FAQ of their internet site they state:
When we're born, a doctor usually says that we're male or female based on what our bodies look like. Most people who were labeled male at birth turn out to actually identify as men, and most people who were labeled female at birth grow up to be women. But some people's gender identity – their innate knowledge of who they are – is different from what was initially expected when they were born. Most of these people describe themselves as transgender.

A transgender woman lives as a woman today, but was thought to be male when she was born. A transgender man lives as a man today, but was thought to be female when he was born. Some transgender people identify as neither male nor female, or as a combination of male and female.
To fully understand how can this statement be interpreted, we can make explicit some concepts that are implicit in the text by adding some clarifying words:
"When we're born, a doctor usually says (following a social convention) that we're male or female based on what our bodies look like. Most people who were labeled (in a social context) male at birth turn out to actually identify (in a social context) as men, and most people who were labeled (in a social context) female at birth grow up to be women (in a social context). But some people's gender identity – their innate knowledge of who they are – is different from what was initially expected (in a social context) when they were born. Most of these people describe themselves (in a social context) as (binary) transgender.

A (binary) transgender woman lives (in a social context) as a woman today, but was thought to be male when she was born (following a social convention that labeled males or females based on their bodies). A (binary) transgender man lives (in a social context) as a man today, but was thought to be female when he was born (following a social convention that labeled males or females based on their bodies). Some (non-binary) transgender people identify (in a social context) as neither male nor female, or as a combination of male and female."
So, if we were to answer the question in the OP (what is a woman or what is a man) using concepts consistent with the thought of binary transgender activists, we would have to say: the social convention of what is a woman (or a man), in any cultural context, is based on what our bodies look like (phenotypic sex, with its concurrent dimorphism and binarism). Individuals who find their biology (phenotypic sex, with its concurrent dimorphism and binarism) not matching their innate knowledge of who they are (gender identity) will want to be perceived and labeled in a way that matches the social convention of phenotypic male and female (based on what bodies look like and how people with those bodies typically behave), which can only be achieved adopting such social behaviors and transforming some secondary sex characteristics of their biology to match one of the dimorphic, binary states. Simple intuition explains then why binary trans people make efforts to appear in society as the typical phenotypic woman or man: biology is the key, because it is the only reference parameter. Otherwise, they would simply choose to declare their gender while conforming to the phenotypic traits they were born with. They would not need surgery, nor join the typical males or females in competitions, using bathrooms, etc., implicitly endorsing the binary based on phenotype.
The wise are instructed by reason, average minds by experience, the stupid by necessity and the brute by instinct.

Putting aside the extreme outlier ideas falsely presented here as typical, the issue is not that sexes don't exist but they have been artificially exaggerated and promoted by modern societies, whose rank and file attitudes towards the genders are less enlightened than even the ancient Egyptians. This exaggeration comes from over-the-top gender display behaviours and customs, and the routine mutilation of millions of intersexed infants to enforce conformity.

Note that my definitions correspond to the ones used by biologists:

QUOTE>
"To a biologist, “male” means making small gametes, and “female” means making large gametes. Period! By definition, the smaller of the two gametes is called a sperm, and the larger an egg. Beyond gamete size, biologists don’t recognize any other universal difference between male and female. Of course, indirect markers of gamete size may exist in some species. In mammals, males usually have a Y chromosome. But whether an individual is male or not comes down to making sperm, and the males in some mammalian species don’t have a Y chromosome. Moreover, in birds, reptiles, and amphibians, the Y chromosome doesn’t occur. However, the gamete-size definition is general and works throughout the plant and animal kingdoms."

A claim of innate knowledge is a philosophical claim.

We can ask, philosophically, whether a proposition needs to be true to count as knowledge.

And we can ask whether people who agree with this particular philosophical claim think that people have other "innate knowledge" or whether such a claim is unprecedented.

Having considered these questions, it is entirely possible to conclude that such a claim is, philosophically speaking, garbage. Wishful thinking. Special pleading. Or to conclude the opposite, that this is wisdom for the ages, to recognise what is knowable only from personal experience.

What makes no sense to me is to assert that one should reach one conclusion or the other as a matter of kindness or political sympathy...

Why not? Definitions are cultural, and can change as the culture changes. We can decide to define "woman" in a manner inconsistent with the standard biological definition if we find it expedient to do so due to kindness or political sympathy, The truth about genetics won't change, but the definition of "woman" will. Definitions evolve all the time.

There certainly is such a thing as meaning change, but it is not the case that all meanings change all the time, that there is no such thing as semantic stability or constancy. Moreover, as a principle of "semantic conservatism", we should avoid Humpty-Dumpty-like redefinitions of common words such as "wo/man", especially when they are ideologically motivated.

"Notice that to agree with Heracleitus that all things flow, nothing abides, is not to agree with the Heracleitus-Protagoras constructed with tongue in cheek by Plato. For, as we have seen, we are not committed to the absurd view that everything always changes in all respects. There are constancies in the flux."

(Sellars, Wilfrid. "Naturalism and Process." The Monist 64/1 (1981): 37-65. p. 57)

"humptydumptying. Giving private meanings to words in common use.
This takes its name from Lewis Carroll's Humpty Dumpty in 'Through the Looking-Glass'. When Alice asks Humpty Dumpty what he meant by 'glory', he replies 'I meant <there´s a nice knock-down argument for you!>'. Alice protests that this isn´t the meaning of 'glory'. 'When I use a word', Humpty Dumpty answers, in a rather scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less.'
This is stipulative definition of quite a bizarre kind, but less conspicuous humptydumptying can lead to confusion and misunderstanding, particularly when there is no explicit stipulation of what a word is being taken to mean. ...The term 'humptydumptying' should be reserved for extreme cases of stipulative definition and idiosyncratic uses of words in common use. To label someone´s use of language humptydumptying is to condemn it as obfuscatory. Words have public meanings and to treat them as if they don't usually leads to confusion and ambiguity."

Given the endless discussions here and elsewhere about the proper use of gendered pronouns, you can hardly assert that any changes in meaning that may occur are "private". Hence, they are not humpty-dumptying.

Also, why should redefintions motivated by ideology be "especially" avoided. Ideology seems like a perfectly good reason to redefine words -- unless, of course, you object to the ideology. Personally, I don't see what the big deal is, one way or another.
