The conrext of your femininity

[TeaGinandFags]

Anneliese Dodds reckons that being a woman - or otherwise - depends on context. So, when are you lot female and when are you male?

And exactly how do you know?

Well... when I gave birth, that was pretty indicative that I was female, to my mind at least. Notwithstanding the menopause I haven't rearranged anything in that area since, so assume I still am. Mind you I'm notoriously unobservant.

Always female. It's these things called chromosomes, which she and other genderists like to pretend are terribly mysterious and don't really have any effect.

I think from the moment the midwife said "it's a girl " .

Yeah.. Stupid comment Annelise

I assume this thread is about (from WH interview, transcript):

... Emma Barnett: And Labour’s definition of a woman?
Anneliese Dodds: Well, I have to say that there are different definitions legally around what a woman actually is. I mean, you look at the definition within the Equality Act, and I think it just says someone who is adult and female, I think, but then doesn’t see how you define either of those things. I mean, obviously, that’s then you’ve got the biological definition, legal definition…
Emma Barnett: With respect, I didn’t ask for that. What’s the Labour definition?
Anneliese Dodds: Oh, I think with respect, Emma, I think it does depend what the context is surely. I mean surely that is important here.

I'm curious at anti-trans-women MNers who don't think that someone could call themselves a woman in the privacy of their own personal relationships with intimate partners. I guess even that "context" is intolerable to the anti-TW folk?

Otherwise there is context to the legal framework every time, that is a factual observation. I can't see how anyone should expect Dodd to adhoc set govt. policy on gender identity issues.

Personally, I am not sure I want Labour to have a "definition" of what is a woman. Makes more sense to talk in terms of protecting vulnerable biological females & biological women's sport.
