Joshua HollandOn another site, some chud demanded that someone "define a woman" and she replied, "it's a person who covers their drink when they see you in a bar."
Just the perfect response.
Kevin Severud@JoshuaHolland I’m gonna say no. That ain’t it. That quoted response is troubling as well. I get the intention but it’s not well thought out.
Ada@severud @JoshuaHolland The fact that you needed to jump to the defence of a nameless transphobe you saw someone talking about online is telling...
Sally Strange@SallyStrange @ada @JoshuaHolland I’m neither a TERF nor a SWERF, FWIW. But I do think it’s problematic to continue to let “others” (such as the unnamed respondent) define gender instead of each individual for themselves.
Ryan Randall@severud For whatever it's worth, the response works well not because it's an attempt to define gender, but because it succinctly exposes the misogyny & toxicity that underpins many (most) attempts to define gender.
