Yeah, they’re using the essentialist argument of what makes a woman a woman and a man a man. It’s a metaphysical black hole.
Used to be they pointed out to the fact women can get pregnant or have periods. But many cis women cannot become pregnant. After around 50 years old, cis women stop having periods. Are they not women? Were they women before 50, and now they are not?
Then we found chromosomes, and they’ve been onto that as a way to be materialist (can’t deny science), but they are wrong because they are still metaphysical. If you point out the diversity of chromosomes (intersexuality for example), they fall back to the ultimate argument, the unfalsifiable quality of “there’s just something about being a woman”. A general, mystical essence of what being a woman is and you are only imbued with it if you were born a woman. They can’t prove it exists, but you can’t prove it doesn’t exist either.
