Can I get the definition for "woman" please?

I know this is the new anti-woke "gotcha" question, but you have to understand that there are multiple ways you can answer a question a like that.

I mean you can analyze it through the psychological/behavioral route by saying women are feminine and express that femininity in ways like wearing dresses and makeup and being nurturing and submissive. But obviously there are women that reject femininity so having such a limited definition will be somewhat exclusive.

You can also go the philosophical/social route by saying women are the ones who give birth to children, that stay at home, that cook meals, that clean the house. But again, a definition like this pretty narrow and bound by culture.

You can look at it from a legal perspective and say that a girl is not a woman until she turns 18. Or maybe you want to judge it by some level of experience or mental maturity, like saying a girl doesn't become a woman until she can fend for herself without parental help. Like in the animal kingdom, we typically say that a child doesn't become an adult until they reach reproductive capabilities or until they leave the pack, we can argue that boys don't become men or girls don't become women until they meet certain requirements.

But we all know this is meant to be a jab at trans people, so let's get down to the biological route. Do we keep it simple and say that women are small and weak, men are big and strong? Isn't that what the whole trans people in sports debate is all about anyway? We gotta protect the small and weak, right? Then again, lots of sports have weight classes for the same reason. Some people are always going to be bigger and stronger than others.

We could keep it anatomical and say that women have breasts and hips, men have beards and muscles, so people can take one look at a person and know right away whether they're a man or a woman. Except that there are many unfortunate cases of women having facial fair and men having moobs, and many more examples of men and women not having any of the physical characteristics they should.

So do we go for something even more fundamental than that, like one specific biological trait? Sex chromosomes are all the rage, but what about sex hormones like testosterone or estrogen? These are the parts of us that are responsible for so many of the other traits like the ones I listed above. You don't grow up to have a male-bodied or female-bodied person without these parts of us doing the work they're supposed to. Without normal chromosomal or hormonal activity, your fetus would never develop properly and you'd be born intersex.

The problem with intersex people is that they're not exactly a 50/50 mix of male and female traits, they're usually mostly typically male or mostly typically female. It would be hard to categorize it based on appearances alone since they may look, act, and sound like you would expect from a woman, yet they're chromosomally male.

I know this is a lot of words for something that doesn't even answer the question, but you do have to understand that to define something is to limit it. Human biology, and behavior, is pretty complex, which is why this is even a question. There are number of different ways you could approach such a definition.

Think of it this way, if it was easy to determine what made a man and what made a woman, why does it seem so hard for men and women to understand each other?
