@Photo55 not sure I understand you, but "biological woman" cannot be understood as a term with an intelligible meaning, it simply dresses up a visceral hatred all nice and sciency.

@menelion Yes - see above.

Some background on the ancient Jewish ideas of sex and gender:

The concept of a sex binary is a recent invention of Western culture. Until the age of colonialism, variation in sexual characteristics was recognized as part of human diversity. Jewish traditions acknowledged 6 sexes. Ancient Greek medicine thought that different shades of male and female and everything in between mapped to different zones of the uterus. The war on intersex people really began in the 20th century when modern medicine decided typical genitalia were required for "normal" psychological development.

"Biological sex" erases trans people by denying the reality of gender identity.

"Biological sex" erases intersex people by falsely claiming there is a clear binary sexual dimorphism. The reality is that sex is complex and many-factored.

The pseudoscience term "biological woman" is everywhere in mainstream media now. Just a reminder that while we might call a cat "female" no-one would ever call it a "woman". "Woman" is a human thing encompassing much more than just biology.
