Radfems like to say “what is your definition of a woman” as a sort of rhetorical kill-switch, assuming that trans women (and our allies) will say that womanhood is some list of traits about femininity. In fact, our definition of woman is nothing. We don’t define womanhood. Any definition of a woman (or of any particular gender) assumes that gender is innate and has a True State of Being. Whether this definition is based in gendered traits of partiarchy or in the genital-worship of “biological sex” it enforces roles of gender upon women. If you insist that woman has a factual definition, you’ve already lost.
