I don't think what is, or is not a female is the problem because female is a biological term. What is or is not a woman is the problem, because woman refers to gender and gender has been redefined to mean something outside of biology.

What is a female??

A woman is Salma Hayek or a man called Kevin in a dress,let’s face it,if you have a dick you ain’t no chic.
And if you have said offending member removed?
Only because we still cannot figure out this simple thing:
- "mind" is phenomenon created by the the physical body (including most importantly the brain),
- your physical body, including the brain (and its offspring the mind) is WHAT you are,
- but your mind alone is WHO you are.
I don't agree that your mind is who you are, because your mind can be wrong. Mind altering drugs can have you believing things completely void of reality. If the mind can be wrong about reality, it can be wrong about you.

Okay, then what do you think it is that makes you who you are?
Be careful to consider what might happen if you lost one of those qualifying things. Like, "I'm a bipedal creature," until you lose a leg to cancer, and then suddenly you're not.
Over to you -- make your case.
I believe we are a combination of the physical AND the mental.
Yes, I understand what "believe" means. Do you have anything factual that supports your belief? Or is just believing quite enough for you (like some people believe in fairies)?
And then, how do you separate the "mental" from the "physical?" If the physical goes away (like dies), where does the "mental" go?

Yep. Drugs, alcohol, depression, abuse, etc etc all can/do alter the mind and who one is.
So if I give you mind altering drugs that convince you that you are a cow, then I use this opportunity to put a bullet in the back of your head, because after all; it is perfectly legal to kill cows, would you consider this murder? Or do you recognize; just because you believe you are something does not make it so.
The mind is what we call the thinking part of the brain. When the brain (mind) dies, that is when you are considered dead.

So if you take drugs and become convinced you are a chicken, if I kill you while you believe you are a chicken, I will go up for murder because even though it is perfectly legal to kill chickens, everybody knows just because you believe you are does not make it so; you are still human. A delusional human, but human non the less.

Well, I assume that you are in fact delusional as to that you are a cis gendered male. Now I need you to prove that that is not the case.

So you are not who you are. You are abnormal, delusional and so on, because you are on drugs, In fact that explains all of your posts. You are wrong about reality, because you are on drugs.
You would still be a biological man,people can identify as either sex but they don’t belong in womens spaces,restrooms,sport or womens prisons.
A favourite pastime of the very people who harp on about "freedom:" telling others where they belong and don't.
A specious argument. Some fungi do that to insects and animals -- alter their minds to turn them to the fungus's purpose. The insect or animal is what it is, but has been hijacked. Thus, you would still be a murderer, since you attempted to alter my perceptions for your purposes.
And here you contradict yourself: if you mind is dead (no longer thinking) then you are dead, as you say. But you insist that if your mind (thinks it) is a woman, you are not.
I think it’s obvious
I did not suggest otherwise.
Sometimes, you know, problems can be very complex, intractable, difficult to resolve -- or even impossible to resolve to everyone's satisfaction. But if we truly care about people, other than just ourselves or those close to us, then I think we should continue to try and look for what we can do.
You know, there was a time, not so long ago (and during my lifetime) when there little to know accommodation for people with physical difficulties -- for example being confined to a wheel chair. Just crossing the street could be a nightmare, because curbs weren't dipped at the crosswalks, let alone trying to cope with the endless stairs our modern cities are filled with. Getting on buses and trains? Hah, wishful thinking! People with that sort of disability mostly just stayed home.
Well, we're spending a lot of money these days trying to rectify that. Where I live, in Toronto, our subway system has been spending literally hundreds of millions a year making getting to and from train platforms accessible. All of our buses and streetcars have been replaced with accessible ones, at huge cost.
I don't know what the solution is for trans people wanting to play sports with the gender with which they identify -- and maybe in the end there really isn't one -- but just arbitrarily telling people to "stay where you belong" strikes me as one of the less considerate attempts.
What kind of proof are you looking for, and why do you need such proof?
So it's murder only because I attempted to alter your perceptions? How about if you altered your perceptions? Would that make killing you okay in your view?
Actually it's called "brain dead" not mind dead because it is the complete brain that is shut down; not just the thinking part.
