No, the question is “is Pluto a planet” and the answer is complicated, but if you take the time to read up on how the scientific community reached consensus, then chances are you’ll end up better understanding the nuance - and why the answer is simply “No.”

This redefinition of "woman" comes from a fundamentally sexist and conservative perspective.

If you actually knew any gender-non-conformant butch women, you'd know they are overwhelmingly trans allies.

Yes, precisely! Modern conservatism is almost primarily characterized by the way it holds traditional gender roles as sacred! Gender unorthodoxy is their main objection to progressiveness!

That’s the reason any of this is even an issue, conservatives still think cows are sacred, queers are hungry for steak!

I understand now all the complaints from regular people about how the democrats and colleges are out of touch with reality, it’s like another universe or twilight zone.

How do you mean?
