So here we all are, on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. Four light years to the nearest star system. (Or about 70,000 years travelling at the fastest speed humans have ever managed. Which is longer than all of human civilization.)
100,000 light years to leave the Milky Way. Aka many millions of years travelling at our current fastest speed. Even at the speed of light (the fastest thing there is), it would take 100,000 years just to leave our galaxy. The closest galaxy is Andromeda. That's 2.5 million light years away. So even travelling at light speed it would take longer than humans have existed as a species. And that's just another speck.
One of trillions of galaxies in a universe too absurdly vast for anyone to comprehend.
The fastest things we've ever made as a species are the Voyager spacecraft. They've been travelling at 40,000 mph nonstop since the 70s. They haven't even left the *solar system* yet.
And it'll take *30,000 years* for them to finally fully leave the solar system (Oort Cloud). Yes, thirty thousand years. Google it.
And here we are arguing over... pronouns.
Stay classy, humans lol.
Anyway, tl;dr a "woman" is, like she says, an "adult human female". Not rocket science. A man is an "adult human male".
That's the dictionary definition.
But it's complicated.
Not all women have XX chromosomes and not all men have XY chromosomes. High school lied to us. There's plenty of variation and dozens of exceptions and people with different chromosomes who don't even realize, because they don't present any differently. Unless you do a DNA test, you don't even know.

Plus intersex people (aka "hermaphrodites", to use the older term) are a thing. Born with both male and female body parts. So what sex are they, exactly?
A tiny minority, sure. But that doesn't make them any less real. And it disrupts the idea that even biological sex is so clear cut. (Not even talking about "gender" yet. Just biological sex. Because intersex people do exist and they're neither clearly male nor female.)
Also, male seahorses get pregnant and give birth. Biology is fun.
And that's nothing to do with being trans, anyway. It's just biological variation. So a lot of people aren't quite accurate off the bat.
Is this really what humanity wants to focus on in 2025? Instead of going to the stars? Asking for a friend...
