>What is a woman?
Modern neuroscience is suggesting an answer to this question that the people who ask it in bad faith are not going to like.

A bunch of brain scan research has begun to show that pre-HRT trans people have a pattern of empirically observable structural brain abnormalities in the parts of the brain that mediate the relationship between the self, the body and the external world. This is precisely where you would expect a person's gender identity to be encoded.

They then found that giving trans people HRT caused the structural brain abnormalities to shrink and, those trans people reported subjective reductions in experienced dysphoria that directly correlated with how much the HRT had fixed their brains.

This research suggests that gender identity actually is a hard coded property of human brains and that it is that gender identity that determines what gender you are (since cases where the body does not match, a neurological condition requiring cross sex HRT to treat occurs).
