Talk:Trans woman

Semi-protected edit request on 20 November 2023
Hello, I'm writing to tell you that a mistake has been made in this article. You should change it from "A trans woman is a woman" to "A trans woman is a person who identifies as a woman" because of the following reasons:

1. Saying this confuses the reader into thinking that a trans woman is actually a biological female. 2. This is leftist ideology newspeak.

Back to the first point, a woman or male is determined by genetical markers in the 23rd chromosome pair which are XX and XY for female and male respectively. This is common biological knowledge and a source can be looked upon anywhere, including every encyclopedia that exists. 78.60.112.253 (talk) 21:44, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

 * We insist:
 * A trans woman is not an "adult human female".
 * Change it. 90.167.86.20 (talk) 10:53, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * You can insist all you like, but the wording comes after careful discussion and consensus – not demands. — Czello (music) 10:57, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The consensus of a few doesn't make it true.
 * The statement is false and contradicts the definition of "woman" - which is linked to this article. 90.167.86.20 (talk) 11:27, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Consensus building is how Wikipedia works. As you're using words like "true" and "false", I'd urge you to read WP:TRUTH. — Czello (music) 11:33, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Verify this for me:
 * How a female can be a male.
 * How two wiki entrances can be verified and in contradiction with each other, at the same time. 90.167.86.20 (talk) 11:44, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * This isn't a debating forum – we go by what reliable sources say. — Czello (music) 11:45, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * No. We don't have to take this nonsense seriously at Wikipedia. Get out of here. LesbianTiamat (talk) 02:00, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

In the Terminology section:

Change “(MtF. M2F)” to “(MTF or M2F)” to be consistent with the corresponding trans man article and improve grammar. I would recommend capitalizing the T in MTF as it seems to be more commonly used. Either way, it should be consistent between the two articles. 70.131.50.155 (talk) 13:21, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

In the last paragraph of 'Terminology' change "The term has historically been applies to people..." to "The term has historically been applied to people..." PolyCloud (talk) 05:08, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
