Similar to the recent question about artists where you can successfully separate them from their art. Are there any artists who did something so horrible, so despicable, that it has instantly invalidated all art that they have had any part in?

What is a human? What is knowledge? What is virtue? What is justice?

We have known for 2500 years that some words are very difficult to define in such a way that every single edge case is handled, it is complete, and short. The most famous example, 2500 years ago, was an academy defined human as a featherless biped. The next day someone released a plucked chicken.

For those words that are very difficult to define we develop criteria and gradually alter the criteria as time goes on, mostly based on the idea of ordinary language.

They mean people born with female bodies. So Cis women or FtM men.

I want him to define it.
Even cis women might not be 'biologically female'
It comes from a high school level understanding of genetics.

I do get what you mean, it's oversimplifying a complicated subject.
