No, they are not.
Because this depends on the definition of female.
And there are different acceptable definitions.
That.
Has to be, one of the single, dumbest, most stupid, contradictory things I have heard in a long time.
The little voice in my head is telling me I can't argue with stupid, so before I listen to it I have a final few words to add.
You say they aren't female, because that depends on the definition and that there are many different acceptable definitions.
Yet, you outright shoot every TG down as NOT being female, you said quite plainly that there are many definitions, where does a TG not fit into one of these many?
I couldn't have put it better than Moop did, being a TG isn't something you wake up one morning and think "Oh hey, wouldn't it be fun to try out being a girl for a while? Gee whiz I'm going to do it just for shits & giggles!", it's a very intense, emotional and painful process both mentally, physically and financially. Undermining all of a TG's efforts by calling her a man/male is just a huge slap to the face.
Gender is not defined by your genitals, it's by how you feel and act.
That's it, that's all I've got. Time to listen to that little voice.
