=== What Defines a Woman? (04:36) ===

[00:00:00]  What is a woman?
[00:00:01]  I think anybody honestly a woman is just somebody who, you know, thinks they're a woman.
[00:00:09]  I mean, gender is just defined by society.
[00:00:12]  Does someone with a penis, is that a woman?
[00:00:14]  Hey, I mean, I'd say if they're not actively using it, sure.
[00:00:18]  Like, if you want to call yourself a woman, more power to you.
[00:00:24]  Have you heard about Harry Potter?
[00:00:26]  Yeah.
[00:00:26]  What they're doing with Harry Potter, the new TV show?
[00:00:28]  Oh, okay, so you haven't heard of, I'm a I'm a fan, but I've been distancing myself from it.
[00:00:37]  You know.
[00:00:38]  Why?
[00:00:39]  I don't agree with J.K. Rowling's view on, you know, trans people, but so.
[00:00:46]  But I'm fine with other people supporting it, you know, more power to them.
[00:00:49]  I don't know.
[00:00:49]  What is her view?
[00:00:51]  I honestly have no clue.
[00:00:53]  Doesn't really like Omar think it's I'm pretty sure she thinks it's a mental illness, which I don't.
[00:01:00]  So I'm a psychology student.
[00:01:02]  So psychology student.
[00:01:03]  Yeah.
[00:01:04]  Okay.
[00:01:05]  Well, from your perspective, because you're in psychology, that's pretty important.
[00:01:09]  If you could tell her or correct her with something, what would you say?
[00:01:12]  I would say, you know, the science is changing on it all the time.
[00:01:15]  You know, do your own research on it, you know, read papers on it and that kind of stuff.
[00:01:21]  You know, don't just assume, you know, people.
[00:01:24]  Just go out and talk to people, you know, that actually, you know, are trans and stuff like that.
[00:01:29]  What has she said about them?
[00:01:31]  That, you know, it's not going to matter what you think.
[00:01:34]  If you're born a man, you're born a man.
[00:01:36]  If you're born a woman, you're born a woman.
[00:01:38]  I personally don't care what.
[00:01:39]  And you think a man could be a woman?
[00:01:41]  I think whatever is in somebody's pants, that's their business, not mine, honestly.
[00:01:46]  So I don't care.
[00:01:47]  is a woman.
[00:01:48]  I think anybody...
[00:01:56]  I mean, gender is just defined by society.
[00:02:00]  Like, sex, yes, that is biological.
[00:02:02]  But gender, that's just a social construct.
[00:02:05]  Okay.
[00:02:05]  So if someone said, I'm a woman, like, what does that mean, though?
[00:02:09]  Whatever it means to them, honestly.
[00:02:11]  Like, some people would say, I shouldn't be considered a woman because I don't want to have children, you know?
[00:02:18]  Well, your desire to have children or not, that doesn't define if you're a woman.
[00:02:22]  Would you say that your ability to have children or not would.
[00:02:26]  So like having the organs.
[00:02:28]  Is biologically woman.
[00:02:29]  She can't have children.
[00:02:31]  But she does have the organs that would make that.
[00:02:34]  I think that's what they're arguing, right?
[00:02:36]  Like, my grandmother had a hysterectomy.
[00:02:39]  Does she no longer become a woman because she no longer has the organs?
[00:02:44]  I don't know.
[00:02:45]  You know, that's a good question.
[00:02:46]  But does someone with a penis, is that a woman?
[00:02:49]  Hey, I mean, I'd say if they're not actively using it, sure.
[00:02:52]  Like, if you want to call yourself a woman, more power to you.
[00:02:55]  I don't care.
[00:02:56]  So what, like, what standards do you place to be like, okay, you say you're a woman, that means you are XYZ.
[00:03:03]  Or if you're like, are you a woman?
[00:03:05]  What would you expect that person to say?
[00:03:07]  Like, what standards are there to be a woman?
[00:03:10]  I don't have a standard for it.
[00:03:12]  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.
[00:03:18]  It's none of my business.
[00:03:20]  Okay, what do you think about the people who might be offended by that saying like, no, men don't give birth, women do.
[00:03:26]  That's offensive towards us as women.
[00:03:28]  We don't want men in our spaces, especially bathrooms or locker rooms.
[00:03:32]  We think that that's important to, you know, define women's rights and have a special place for women.
[00:03:37]  Hey, it's America.
[00:03:39]  You're allowed to have that opinion.
[00:03:40]  As long as you don't impose on other people, like I said, more power to you.
[00:03:44]  Okay.
[00:03:45]  You know, just don't be a dick to other people about it.
[00:03:47]  No pun intended.
[00:03:50]  You think that's the only thing that makes a woman a woman is what's in her pants?
[00:03:53]  No, like I said earlier, that it's a sociology construct, you know.
[00:03:58]  Society determines what it is or isn't.
[00:04:02]  I mean, if you look at countries overseas, you know, India has a whole section of genders.
[00:04:10]  Like, they're gods.
[00:04:12]  There's over a hundred of them.
[00:04:13]  Not the gods, but, you know, the genders that they can be.
[00:04:16]  Yeah.
[00:04:17]  So, I don't know.
[00:04:19]  Like, biology-wise, maybe, maybe not.
