Someone in Britain ought to buy Anna from Warwickshire a drink. On a BBC news segment “Your Questions Answered” with the leader of the Liberal Democrats, Jo Swinson, Anna asked Swinson to define what a woman is.
SWINSON: Well, I know I’m a woman. And I think we do– we know what we are. And I think all women are important and their rights need to be protected, whether they are black, Asian, white. Whether they are gay or straight or bi; whether they have a very privileged upbringing, or they don’t have much money, whether they are cis [newspeak for actual women] or trans [newspeak for men who self-identify as women] whether they have a disability, we are all important, in all of those different ways.
ANNA FROM WARWICKSHIRE: So how can you tell what a woman is?
SWINSON: Well, I mean I’m just of, sort of, trying to understand, you know, what you’re getting at. I think we know when we engage with each other, we know if we are a woman. And I can tell you that I am, right? So, you know, we’re not going to start a scenario where we go and perform inspections on people, are we?

So, there we go. Jo Swinson, the leader of the third-largest political party in the United Kingdom, does not know what a woman is, and has promised complete reform of the Gender Recognition Act, which she does not understand the consequences of. Thanks again, Anna, for such excellent questions.
No one takes biology any more? Even tiny kids once knew that girls have innies and boys have outies.
End of discussion.
But Julian Castro said we need abortion rights for “trans” women, meaning biological men who pretend to be women.
I get so confused by the way they confuse what should be straight forward. I will end up in re-education Camp someday.
First, good definition. However.....
As in one of the PG Wodehouse stories an aunt of Bertie Wooster said (after he blurted out "Oh, dash it all.":
"I'll thank you to leave that kind of language in the pump room where it belongs."
Outies, indeed.
It’s useful to have a word for someone with the equipment to conceive and bear children, considering its importance to civilization, society, and the perpetuation of the species. “Woman” has serves as that. Do they offer an alternative?
“people with wombs”
I think I would prefer to get more basic than that.
A person with 2 X chromosomes.
A woman does not stop being a woman if she has her uterus removed.
In this political atmosphere we need to get very basic. Women who undergo sex change surgeries would stop being women under your definition, which of course would be incorrect.
“I will end up in re-education Camp someday.”
So will we all, and standing over us with a whip and evil smile will be Commandant Elizabeth Warren. I can picture her in her black uniform now.
I don’t understand why anyone would be confused about this. The word is defined already.
Even Wicktionary knows.
staaaapph! Just staaaahpp with the science stuff! You’re gonna confuse the already confused!
Swinson was ambushed by an unfair gotcha question! How is anyone supposed to be able to answer that question right off the top of her head, with no advanced notice?

End of discussion.
Well, to listen to some of these gender bending activists, we are too focused on what’s in someone’s crotch. We are urged to expand our definitions of gender and gender identity, and learn about the over 50 gender identities discovered so far.
I heard someone once say, one’s sex is not determined by what’s between your legs, it’s defined by what’s between your ears; by your mind’s concept of your own personal gender.
I think that’s horseblank, but that’s the type of thinking of people we are up against on these issues.
High School Freshman Earth Science is too far in the weeds for these people.
Someone who is very good at telling you what to do
That would work.
At least in my case.
That says it all! Even if they have no idea of how to do what ever you are trying to accomplish.
Inspections...
Why not...
its called PROVE IT...
are we forever more going to be saddled with ‘undocumented females’ ???
In most places the law says tha a woman cannot go around bare breasted.
Does that make it against the law for a trans to go bare bteasted???
Only highly educated libtard socialists can’t answer ‘what is a woman’?
