For me, a woman is someone who was born with the primary female sexual characteristics, everything else is classified as trans.
I am not against trans people or their human rights or their right to free development, I am only interested in the definition, for me!
Putting up with a different opinion is part of freedom of expression.

"I don't trust all experts. I go and do a journal article and get it published, and oftentimes my articles are calling into question other articles that other experts ... have written. So one of the things we do amongst experts is to challenge each other openly, often, and that's how we build knowledge. "

"... I think [conspiracy theories] are, at their core, an important critique of power and of the establishment, and sometimes they are warranted. Sometimes they're not. So what we need to do is be very careful about which ones we want to get rid of, and which ones we're going to allow to stay."
