On 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.

@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.
@severud @JoshuaHolland The fact that you needed to jump to the defence of a nameless transphobe you saw someone talking about online is telling...
@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.
@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.

@severud @SallyStrange @ada @JoshuaHolland

Presumably your issue is actually with the chud who insisted on a definition on the first place.

@severud @Cassandra @ada @JoshuaHolland Just a misunderstanding? So then you should have said, "yes, this is it, good job showing that bigot what's what."
@severud @SallyStrange @JoshuaHolland Ok, so explain something to me. There are two people in this story. One is an active transphobe trying to strictly define gender in an exclusionary and bigoted way. The other is a person using a witty quip to call out the bigot by using the bigots words against them.

If your issue here is with people defining other people's gender, why did you decide the person to take issue with was the person pushing back against the bigot?
@ada because they use vivaldi.net.

@ada @JoshuaHolland @severud for real, he'd rather defend a possibly made up person's transphobia before he accepts that this transphobic talking point is transphobic and should just stop already. like that's peak pathetic behavior

edit: aww he liked my comment instead of just admitting he was wrong.

🎶 You're the problem. It's you! 🎶

@JoshuaHolland I like to say, “Someone who intentionally wears pants with fake pockets.”
@JoshuaHolland I'm amused by the subtext that you wouldn't need to cover your drink because they wouldn't even rape you
@JoshuaHolland I am so sick of people asking that ignorant question, when a number of people are born with parts of both sexes or sexually indeterminate. The MAGA God made people who may not have been assigned a gender at birth because it could not be done. If 2 fertilized eggs develop into a single human, a chimera, that person can be both male and female, both sister and brother. Women who have Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome have XY chromosomes but defaulted to female.

@JoshuaHolland

That is actually horrifying. D:

@JoshuaHolland didn't understand a single thing from the definition.

@JoshuaHolland A good faith answer to a question asked in bad faith.
@JoshuaHolland I just saw, in a comedy bit by Zach Star, the line “people you can't give an orgasm to?”
