Defining Woman: Biology vs. Gender Identity

The discussion centers around the definition of what constitutes a woman, traditionally viewed as an adult human female based on biological criteria. This biological perspective is contrasted with a newer ideology that prioritizes self-identified gender over biological sex, arguing that gender is a spectrum rather than a binary concept. Examples like Leah Thomas, who competed in women's sports despite being biologically male, illustrate the complexities introduced by this ideology, affecting social structures such as gender-segregated spaces. Such shifts challenge long-standing societal norms and raise concerns about the implications of redefining gender based on personal feelings rather than biological realities.
