Tranny tries to come up with an answer to "What is a woman?" and basically claims "If you look like a woman then you are one" but a comment accuses him of excluding TIMs who dont pass, and a TIF claims that his definition would include her.

yes, that is correct, a person who passes perfectly would be treated as a woman. Women with complete androgen insensitivity are women, even if they have a Y chromosome, because they developed as women. The problem is that this is an impossible transformation for a troon, it does not occur. On some level of scrutiny, trans people will not pass. Even if an incidental interaction would not lead to them being clocked by most people, more prolonged interactions will reveal the truth. If a very androgynous trans women kept to himself and didn't make a huge deal about it, I think it probably would be possible for him to get treated as a women in most short social interactions. The more people spent time with him though, the more the tells would show. And of course, the continuously apparent trans lightning rod, sexual contact would be an instant tell.
But yes, correct, troon, identities only have meaning through a social/collective act of definition. So the fact that people are defining women in a way that excludes you is the correct, valid definition of woman, instead of the meaningless tautological mess of TRAs "women are people who identify as women"
The visibility of trans people is also increasing this scrutiny, because people are aware of skinwalkers now.
I was thinking about this recently, but there was a book by a journalist from 2006 that I think is telling.
Self-Made Man: My Year Disguised as a Man is a 2006 book by journalist Norah Vincent, recounting an 18-month experiment in which she disguised herself as a man and then integrated into traditionally male-only venues, such as a bowling league and a monastery.
I remember reading it and tellingly I do not recall her ever trying to engage in a sexual contact with anyone (she is a lesbian in real life and it was a deliberate social experiment, not pooner fantasy). But for the most part the men, and sometimes women, did not clock her. They treated her as an effeminate manlet essentially, still accepted but more on the margins and a little weird. I do not think this experiment would be possible now, the awareness of the trans movement has changed to mental calculus people do and resulted in more scrutiny and probably more hostility.
tee hee
