But why do we have pronouns then? Can we define a female and male as having certain body parts?
I, personally, do not check a person's body parts before I use a pronoun.

How you define a woman?
Are you having a problem with your identity? Tell us what's going on. Why are you having a problem with this issue?Ok, so, a "man" can as well be then a woman, which makes it impossible to be trans, because there is nowhere to transition´, nothing that would make person woman or man? By what I know, nowadays there are no boy or girl toys, clothes... nothing, which is why person can't transition to anywhere, because there is nothing that defines woman or man.
I think this phrasing is problematic. To say "assigned" is a bit inaccurate. The gender of a baby is based on the basic biological category that is observed. How gender evolves and is felt as a child grows and matures would be more a matter of assignment, namely personal assignment.A transgender woman is a woman assigned male at birth. A transgender man is a man assigned female at birth.

I see many intolerant conservatives complain that homosexuality is created by grooming and other nonsense, so they are attacking how adults assign this status. So to say gender is assigned at birth could be interpreted as adults accused of grooming and alternative gender influence.
Assigned at birth is the typical wording, but I too agree that assigned just isn't the right word to describe what's going on and the process that has happened.Ah, you are correct. Sorry about that. I am still learning.

Man and women are both gender terms which are arbitrary, and biological terms which are not, why is this so hard to grasp? Gender dysphoria is real, and if someone is suffering, and if identifying as a gender that differs from their biological one helps ease that suffering, what's the big deal exactly?
No, no, you must be having a 'problem', 1213.I think it looks funny how at the same time people claim that there are no girl or boy thing, but still some people could "change their gender". I was trying to see can someone here clarify the situation that looks extremely paradoxical.
Give both definitions if you want.Do you mean biologically, or cultural gender references?
Then what do you call a person with a penis or a vagina? What is the term we should use?The point is that you don't anymore. A woman and a man is more than just their body parts.
It becomes meaningless if anyone can define it anyway they want. What if you point to a car and I call it a potato. We will not be able to communicate very well.No it isn't, and no it isn't.
Use what ever pronouns you want. But what does she/her mean?All words change overtime, why can't pronouns if it helps us better understand things?
I agree with you here. What is the proper term for a person with a penis or vagina?We already do, but we also can acknowledge that gender is a cultural concept which can change, unlike someone's biological sex, which can't, well not completely and not at the moment anyway.
I am not talking about pronouns.I, personally, do not check a person's body parts before I use a pronoun.
I find it rather demeaning to laugh at people in such a manner.To have a laugh at funny things doesn't mean phobia, it means something is funny and it's a natural thing for human beings.
A mystic that mocks and laughs at those who are different. Now I understand why you picked your handle.lol, the only thing empowering is to have a good laugh at ill person who thinks he's woman and vice versa.
Then what do you call a person with a penis or a vagina? What is the term we should use?
What do you call a person who doesn't have either?Then what do you call a person with a penis or a vagina? What is the term we should use?
What do you call a person who doesn't have either?
I agree. I have said many times I will call anyone they want by any name or pronoun. That is not my question. What do we call a person with a penis or vagina? Is biological male/biological female acceptable?You call them what they tell you to call them.
That does not answer my question.What do you call a person who doesn't have either?
