A new level of stupidity has been rached - midwives have been, apparently, instructed not to use the term "breastfeeding" but "chestfeeding" when talking to pregnant or recently delivered women.

I think it's instructive to try to come up with an alternative definition of "woman" that includes trans women but that isn't circular.

Not that it really matters, if we start labelling trans women "woman" it's just a label, it doesn't make the issues go away.

If it still has its dick it ain't a woman!

I think this is quite funny in a grim way.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-56251452

Twitch changed its spelling of "woman" to "womxn" to cater for gender fluidity. But they have been forced to back track because transgender women complained that it was denying their identity. Personally, I think the word "womxn" needs to be consigned to oblivion, but no matter, it was introduced because some women didn't like the idea that it implies "woman" is defined in terms of "man". i.e. it has nothing to do with gender fluid issues.

This is 42 years old.

How is it that only now it is relevant, rather than just being a silly riff in a film:
