  • You should specify “in humans” because, biologically, there’s a lot of species that can and do swap sexes. Not any mammals as far as I know, but it would help your case when arguing biology if you apply the most accurate phrasing possible.

    No idea if you knew it was possible in other animals or not, just pointing it out.

    There’s another thing that needs pointing out.

    Biologically, a female labeling is based on a set of traits, with the word being defined by those traits.

    Socially a female is a term defined by usage and tradition. Currently, female is indeed the term for any animal that is sexually dimorphic and matches a set of traits. But a woman is defined by a set of traits, that includes the traits of a female human, but also includes other traits.

    So, both cis and trans women are women.
