Agreed.

Did you know that Trump has a university degree and Dubya Bush went to Harvard and Yale?
You keep saying irrelevant things. You also have yet to define a woman. Isn't that interesting?
A woman is a human female.
If a person has XX chromosomes, quite probably she is a woman.
Most people who describe themselves as women have XX chromosomes.
Okay, that's a partial definition. Now let's hear your full one. Since you are being an arbiter, we need a full definition.
I don't have a full definition, however, I think my parameters apply to >98% of women and >98% of those with XX chromosomes.
IIUC, your definition of a woman is a person who self-identifies as one, and currently at least, most of those who identify themselves as women have XX chromosomes, and for that matter, female genitalia, breasts disproportionately larger than men, and naturally talk at slightly higher pitches.
I also think that this will be the case for at least a few decades, though what do I know?
If someone with XY chromosomes and male genitalia wants to call thonself a woman, fine, it's (still) a (relatively) free country, but just don't expect me to always play along—and with that, I expect to be banned for transphobia, because not only do I don't completely agree with the so-called progressives, but that I posted such.
"This applies 99% of the time" is not a scientific definition.
Also, I never gave a definition.
This is literally bigotry.
