Ha! That is exactly how she expressed it to a friend. She can't see my face if she isn't looking at me. Freaks me out.
I do get that.
In terms of the OP, I'm pretty comfortable with a man being a person who says they are a man and use he/him pronouns. I know that a lot of other people are concerned about this and, stupid jokes about helicopters aside, I can understand their confusion.
I agree! Even though many of the abnormalities do come with health complications, many handicap people live better than able bodied people do;
Good for you!
Or perhaps the problem is when people like you judge people like me harshly without knowing my views on the issue
When someone is born with more or less than 5 fingers, the medical community calls it a disorder or anomality. That's good enough for me!
Well....... the Y is Male, and X is female.
Not quite; male applies to all male mammals; dogs, cats, apes, etc. but Man only applies to human male mammals.
I agree! Because if you don't conflate the two, the words "man" and "woman" becomes meaningless.

I take it this means that there can't be transgender people, in your understanding?
So if a person is born with 7 fingers, or born blind, or with something generally called a deformity, is it your view that nothing went wrong during the birth process?
It is my understanding transgenderism is based on your thoughts, not your reality.

That you can see no other meaning to the words is a you problem.
Looks to me that there are loads of people who do not conflate them and they all still have meaning.

I see. I don't understand it enough myself to be trying to change your mind but I have heard trans people talk about being trans and it suggests to me that there's more to it than male/female.
How do you percieve people who feel like they are a gender other than the one you would associate with their biological sex? Are they delusional? Or are they just different?
So what does it mean to be a woman?
Is it more to it than their thoughts and feelings?
I think they are misguided.

A "woman" is one who adheres to the stereotypes assigned to women.
A "man" is one who adheres to the stereotypes assigned to men.
Of course, I make no claims that these definitions are the definitions others go with.
So each person may have a different definition of what it means to be a woman? So according to you, if I have a stereotype that says women should not work outside the house once she has children, am I justified in proclaiming any biological female with kids working outside the house is no longer a woman?

Something went 'wrong' according to the averages. But it's still normal being within the realm of human variation.

Seeing as there are so many different stereotypes of woman around the United States and most certainly even more around the world, i suspect that the answer is yes.
WTF are you talking about?
All diseases, deformities, and afflictions are within the realm of human variation; would you agree?

What did I say that you don't understand?
So is that a yes?
