Mary Austin VOTED 4 HARRIS!@harld Plus, although that response is funnier, cis women with Turner Syndrome have only one X chromosome instead of two. They often have "streak ovaries," ovary remnants that lack viable eggs, and they are therefore often infertile.
So, some cis women have no egg cells. 🤷🏼♀️
This explains further in lay language for anyone interested.

Madeleine Morris@harld While the joke is excellent, it also begs the question - so post-menopausal women are not female?
Fabian ¯\_(ツ)_/¯@Remittancegirl @harld To be fair, they included "born" in their response
GJ Groothedde 🇪🇺@Remittancegirl
Well, they do say "born with". But what about women with Turner syndrome, for instance?

Nefarious Celt@Eetschrijver @Remittancegirl @harld fun fact I have had many “birthdays” but was not born. (A key plot point in Shakespeare)

Tattie@harld what jumps out at me, other than the fine joke, is the word intention.
This betrays a fundamentally theological world view, where everything in biology is invested with an intent, and women's "intent" is reproduction. Phrasing it as "to hold eggs" is an awkward obfuscation of that, to try to stop the casual listener realising that's what they're saying.
Evolution, of course, does not have any intent. It is a cumulation of successive accidents, which self-perpetuate.
Forse (he/him)@harld I second the other commenters, that "intention" there is doing some weird work.

@harld that's like some james fridman shit, using non-specific wording to their advantage. i love it
