(I'm just trying to learn. No hidden mockery in this and this is no gotcha bs aimed at t women. I'm NOT transphobic. Just saw this in a debate and wanted to know other people's thoughts)

I just want to know:

Is this factually correct?
If it is, does it matter? Why or why not?
How would you logically respond to this?
How does this statement not contradict with Trans Women are Women

There are cis women with primary amenorrhea and infertility. They do not have periods, they can not get pregnant.

Are they not women?

Another life history experience that I didn't know about or include on the list.
