Eddie Izzard causes twitter meltdown

trans men are not women.

Are we just ignoring the dictionary now?

I propose that man now means croissant.

an adult who identifies their internal experience of gender as female.
Do you think trans men are women?

do you think trans men are women?

I didn't say that.
What do you propose calling an individual with XX chromosomes?

By definition they are adult female humans, so yes.

It creates an interesting situation where they are both women and trans men at the same time

Without the dictionary our language loses all meaning, quite literally.

Language evolves. Language already has very little meaning and can vary from person to person.
It creates an interesting situation where we need to come up with a new term to refer to biological sex because the terms we use to refer to biological sex and gender are often the same and used interchangeably when biological sex and gender are not.
Some examples might be "a person with xx chromosomes", "an afab person", or more specifically "a pregnant person/person who menstruates".

"an idividual with xx chromosomes" or "a person assigned female at birth/an afab person". Assuming that's the only information I get about this person

Yes but she implied that all people born with a female reproductive system are women. When they aren't. You are correct, only people born with a female reproductive system can menstruate, not everyone born with a female reproductive system is a woman. There's obviously a chance that it was not meant to be transphobic, but it's been pointed out to her that it could come off that way and she has refused to acknowledge it and apologize.

Sorry none of the words you have written mean anything.

All I said was that words can mean different things (colloquially) to different people. "Quite good" in American English means very good, whereas "quite good" in British English means pretty good.

Language already has very little meaning

Their sex will always be female whether you'd like to admit it or not. You have voiced your opinion that sex is different than gender many times, so I know you have to agree..
Why should she have to apologize for something she didnt mean?

Eh? And? Are authors now not allowed to write books with characters that may represent old misconceptions? Men dressing up as ladies to harass women in private areas is not some made up concept that only has to do with trans people. It happens. If anything, one would think linking those situations back to trans people like you are is more transphobic than the book itself.
Second bit is just a stupid thing she said and doesnt make much sense in itself, even if she had established that she had a hatred for trans people.
Plenty of people are open and proud about being transphobic. Plenty of others are obvious about it. JK is not.

He merely asked for examples.. how can that be twisted..

You said and I quote:

This statement is demonstrably untrue.

would you rather i changed it to "very little fixed meaning"? That wasn't even an attack on your position, just a comment about how language can change over time. I don't know why you're so focused on it.

No, that would also be untrue. There are an estimated 170,000 defined words in the English language.
Without a defined language our society would fall to ruin, laws would be unenforceable because they would have no meaning.

the oxford english dictionary revised and added 500+ words in the last update.

No really sure what your point is here, you just seem to reinforcing my point that words have set definitions.

definitions are not fixed if they are updated regularly.

"an idividual with xx chromosomes" or "a person assigned female at birth/an afab person". Assuming that's the only information I get about this person

So it's not that you think trans-women are women using the dictionary definition of women because it would be absurd to suggest that they could suddenly aquire an extra X chromosome and rid themselves of the Y, you have repurposed the word 'women' to mean a feeling.

You are essentially saying that to be a woman is to feel like a woman, trans women presumably do not feel the same as "individuals with XX chromosomes" because they have a completely different biology. Surely it is a kind erasure to suggest this.

If a being a woman is to have a subjective internal experience that you attribute to being a women, a type of existentialism, the word becomes meaningless to anyone else but yourself.

Would it be, in your view wrong for people with XX chromosomes to set up breastfeeding support groups, pregnancy support groups, hell even book clubs solely for their use?
