Past and current dictionary’s, current legal dictionary’s, the biology dictionary all read the same Honor. Yet your source that history has been wrong all these years is what?
Gender is socially constructed and a result of sociocultural influences throughout an individual's development (Schneider, Gruman & Coutts, 2005). Gender identity can be affected by, and is different from one society to another depending on the way the members of society evaluate the role of females and males. Our gender identity can be influenced from the ethnicity of the group, their historical and cultural background, family values and religion. Often people confuse or misuse the terms gender and sex. The term sex refers to the biological distinction of being male and female (Schneider, Gruman & Coutts, 2005). To make the distinction clearer one could consider that we inherit the sex but we learn our gender (Boss, 2008).
...
The idea of social construction of gender sees society, not biological sex differences, as the basis for gender identity (Anderson, Logio & Taylor, 2005). There are many different processes by which the expectations associated with being a boy or a girl is passed on through society. For instance one could see this from the moment a child comes into the world and from the fact that he/she has to face a "blue" or "pink" reality. I recently attended a baby shower party and I was shocked first by the amount of items a baby needs and even more about the color choice of each item. Everything was pink, as a baby girl was expected, and honestly I never imaged how many different shades of pink actually exist for products such as baby clothes. The house decoration was pink, people were wearing pink or pastel colors, all the gift wrappers pink as well as the gifts themselves. My gift was one of the few items of a different color, as I chose yellow and light purple items, which was actually a challenging task to find as most of the items in the store I shopped were blue or pink. The social construction of gender could be further been seen by the way parents behave to their children, by their expectations about how their children should behave and act, and by the toys they buy for them. For example girls are supposed to play with dolls and be sweet and emotional and boys are supposed to play with action figures and be aggressive and rational. Therefore clothes, toys, and even the language used with young children follow the trend of stereotyping gender. Children learn by modeling and the messages they receive and act accordingly. An example similar to the dress code we having for children can also be seen with adults, particularly in the colors, fabrics and designs specific to each gender. Another example is the situation of a female working in the business field that is expected to dress in masculine way in order to be considered successful and to be taken more seriously. This could demonstrate again how social influences affect gender expectations and shape behaviors and norm regarding gender.
Odds you read all that? Pretty low. Probability you comprehend what it says? Well, maybe you'll surprise me. I doubt it, though.
What does that have to do with the definition of a woman…the person who wrote the blog,discusses women in a totally different contex if you would have kept reading…
And to your OP question…at least one of them…if the LDS prophet has a revelation that a trans woman or man can receive the priesthood…does that mean science changes, and your argument today will be reversed? by the way, very weak and un-thought out OP…you usually have a somewhat thought out take, the OP is lame at best, using a small cult in Utah as a bench mark for biology. Hey, but in your mind you won again…LOL

Your response highlights why you are impossible to engage in coherent discussion. Being a woman isn't a biological term. It is a cultural term defining norms and other culturally proscribed social expectations of a biological female.
It's why sidestepping the question about the necessity of having a penis vs a vagina when examining the culturally defined concept of what it means to be a woman, or womanhood, and contrasted by what it means to be a man, or manhood, isn't answering the question. You see it as not liking the answer. I see it as not understanding the topic let alone the questions.

God, you are dumb.
ETA: Recognizing you are dumb, I realize I need to point out why I said that..Check out the OP again. When you figure out why the above comment is numbingly idiotic, we will call that progress. Which is also sad.
No what kevin did is paste and run, and I asked him to give a momentary, and he did again but added a few bold’s. If he want to actually discuss it fine, I will, but he needs to engage. I am already behind answer question from people that want to engage.
But I tell you what Marcus, goo back and read what he wrote and engae with me on it…make point in your words, and certainly use his paste as cf…Themis can do so also…and I promise I will get to answering you…or just continue to be a DH….designated heckler.
> I don’t read because I don’t need to know what other people have to say on a topic I have no interest changing my mind over
> I need you to read what others have posted and explain it to me in one or two sentences
> I’m just going to say, “Nah.”, after you went through the effort of reading and paraphrasing what others have posted and I requested you expend energy over. Also, I didn’t read what you posted, either.

I did screw up in that I got a post you wrote mixed up thinking it was from Gad…but it does not change the question. …
LOL..If I am dumb what does that make you, mindless? Think about what you are arguing Honor? In one breath you argue a “woman” can’t be defined in a biological context, and then paste a blog entry that addresses, at least in part, women's struggles against men in regards to sexism. Which would make no sense if one did not understand what a woman is in a biological sense, and the history or women's rights. Which would be similar to then trying to define a “women's right to choose” in that it demands woman meaning a biological female… as the dictionary confirms, in that a biological woman is the human that can get an abortion in a natural context.
Yeah I’m Dumb…you are just pissed because I would fall into some plan for some got you scenerio…again yes I am dumb.

Back to my art...which is hella more satisfying than trying to get somewhere with you in discussion.
Jersey Girl…do you realize the men here are crapping on you as a woman and saying basically anyone can be a women you don’t here them saying that a man can’t be defined.
Why waste the brief flickering of our consciousnesses on such stuff?

That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.
Mayan Elephant:
Not only have I denounced the Big Lie, I have denounced the Big lie big lie.
