What Defines a Woman?
00:04:36
|
|
| What is a woman? | |
| I think anybody honestly a woman is just somebody who, you know, thinks they're a woman. | |
| I mean, gender is just defined by society. | |
| Does someone with a penis, is that a woman? | |
| Hey, I mean, I'd say if they're not actively using it, sure. | |
| Like, if you want to call yourself a woman, more power to you. | |
| Have you heard about Harry Potter? | |
| Yeah. | |
| What they're doing with Harry Potter, the new TV show? | |
| Oh, okay, so you haven't heard of, I'm a I'm a fan, but I've been distancing myself from it. | |
| You know. | |
| Why? | |
| I don't agree with J.K. Rowling's view on, you know, trans people, but so. | |
| But I'm fine with other people supporting it, you know, more power to them. | |
| I don't know. | |
| What is her view? | |
| I honestly have no clue. | |
| Doesn't really like Omar think it's I'm pretty sure she thinks it's a mental illness, which I don't. | |
| So I'm a psychology student. | |
| So psychology student. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Okay. | |
| Well, from your perspective, because you're in psychology, that's pretty important. | |
| If you could tell her or correct her with something, what would you say? | |
| I would say, you know, the science is changing on it all the time. | |
| You know, do your own research on it, you know, read papers on it and that kind of stuff. | |
| You know, don't just assume, you know, people. | |
| Just go out and talk to people, you know, that actually, you know, are trans and stuff like that. | |
| What has she said about them? | |
| That, you know, it's not going to matter what you think. | |
| If you're born a man, you're born a man. | |
| If you're born a woman, you're born a woman. | |
| I personally don't care what. | |
| And you think a man could be a woman? | |
| I think whatever is in somebody's pants, that's their business, not mine, honestly. | |
| So I don't care. | |
| is a woman. | |
| I think anybody... | |
| I mean, gender is just defined by society. | |
| Like, sex, yes, that is biological. | |
| But gender, that's just a social construct. | |
| Okay. | |
| So if someone said, I'm a woman, like, what does that mean, though? | |
| Whatever it means to them, honestly. | |
| Like, some people would say, I shouldn't be considered a woman because I don't want to have children, you know? | |
| Well, your desire to have children or not, that doesn't define if you're a woman. | |
| Would you say that your ability to have children or not would. | |
| So like having the organs. | |
| Is biologically woman. | |
| She can't have children. | |
| But she does have the organs that would make that. | |
| I think that's what they're arguing, right? | |
| Like, my grandmother had a hysterectomy. | |
| Does she no longer become a woman because she no longer has the organs? | |
| I don't know. | |
| You know, that's a good question. | |
| But does someone with a penis, is that a woman? | |
| Hey, I mean, I'd say if they're not actively using it, sure. | |
| Like, if you want to call yourself a woman, more power to you. | |
| I don't care. | |
| So what, like, what standards do you place to be like, okay, you say you're a woman, that means you are XYZ. | |
| Or if you're like, are you a woman? | |
| What would you expect that person to say? | |
| Like, what standards are there to be a woman? | |
| I don't have a standard for it. | |
| If somebody introduces themselves to me and they want to be a woman and they want to go by she or her pronouns, more power to them. | |
| It's none of my business. | |
| Okay, what do you think about the people who might be offended by that saying like, no, men don't give birth, women do. | |
| That's offensive towards us as women. | |
| We don't want men in our spaces, especially bathrooms or locker rooms. | |
| We think that that's important to, you know, define women's rights and have a special place for women. | |
| Hey, it's America. | |
| You're allowed to have that opinion. | |
| As long as you don't impose on other people, like I said, more power to you. | |
| Okay. | |
| You know, just don't be a dick to other people about it. | |
| No pun intended. | |
| You think that's the only thing that makes a woman a woman is what's in her pants? | |
| No, like I said earlier, that it's a sociology construct, you know. | |
| Society determines what it is or isn't. | |
| I mean, if you look at countries overseas, you know, India has a whole section of genders. | |
| Like, they're gods. | |
| There's over a hundred of them. | |
| Not the gods, but, you know, the genders that they can be. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So, I don't know. | |
| Like, biology-wise, maybe, maybe not. | |
