Alas, I can't find a dictionary definition for "woman" that matches the way they use it here. Should we look forward to referenda on the definition of "woman" and "man"? wom·an [woom-uhn] noun, plural wom·en  [wim-in] noun 1. the female human being ( distinguished from man). 2. an adult female person. 3. a female attendant to a lady of rank. 4. a wife. 5. the nature, characteristics, or feelings often attributed to women; womanliness. fe·male [fee-meyl] noun 1. a person bearing two X chromosomes in the cell nuclei and normally having a vagina, a uterus and ovaries, and developing at puberty a relatively rounded body and enlarged breasts, and retaining a beardless face; a girl or woman. 2. an organism of the sex or sexual phase that normally produces egg cells. 3. Botany . a pistillate plant.

fe·male [fee-meyl] noun 1. a person bearing two X chromosomes

A good rule is, if its chromosomal makeup doesn't match its, um, secondary characteristics, then you need to throw scare quotes around its personal pronouns.
