Why did you change what I said? Accident or trying to emphasize a point?
On to what you said now:
Such is language. Don't like a word? Make a new one.
Agreed, but if 'A' is defined as 'X' and 'B' is defined as 'Y', the existence of 'C' expressing some combination of qualities of 'X' and 'Y' does not invalidate the definitions of 'A' as 'X' and 'B' as 'Y'.
This is where you made a gigantic leap:
No, see above. However, I'm all for coming up with new terms to allow people to more effectively communicate their preferences. I think Trans-woman is a useful term in that regard. It let's other people know "Hey, I am male, but want to be female. Please treat me accordingly." I don't think information like that should be broadcast like though (like religious/political bumper stickers). Most people treat others as they see them, based on their own preferences, not those of the recipient. For example, I generally prefer interactions with clean, pleasant or attractive people to those with unclean, unpleasant or unattractive people.
My logic is pristine ^^
It changes everything
Agreed.
Indeed. You are free to proclaim yourself whatever you so desire just as others are free to disagree. I fancy myself as a banana because they are pale, delicious and lethal.

OK but you base male or female on whether people haz or haz not a penile or a vagay
yet there's obvs exceptions 2 the rule
If u walk up to me and go, hey ma'am! r u violatin ur own logix? Cuz u obvs didn't check my pantz or take my bloodz without my consentz
I get it people will make, ASSUMPTIONS, based on X and Y, the problem is X and Y is a model and SCIENCE doesn't even say it's a concrete model, only that it's pretty simple to check a racoon and see if it has an inny and or an outy and that it may possibly make babies with the other kind of racoon
PEOPLE aren't even anywhere near racoons.
So pLZ don't check my pantz... Especially after I use the RR xD
And already if your TSA U should have probz got a memo that some F's have D's. And not to bother them if they R properly turned into Vagays and not making a public display of having a D
Which is why I lol and #rage at the confusion and bigotry I see people throwing around about people "Like" (but not copies) of me.
The only thing I can assume is you assume until u have otherwise verified based on what u can think, and those r ur constructs of what gender rly is. Because I know ur not checkin everyones pants to figure out pronouns in common interactions.
********
Unless ur just like epicaly autistic and unique and use ONLY gender neutral pronouns or zero pronouns at all and never describe someone by gender unless u have already checked their pants or stolen their bloodz
*********
I doubt the above scenario.
I get where u seeing a girl with a D could be a deal breaker for u in the conceptulization department, but there are XX girl with D's and protoDs and FTM's with surgical D's, are they not then Dudez? by your definition, just because they break the XX rule? Or do you simply refuse to acknowledge their birth certificate/legal gender status? Or how they represent themselves all of a sudden?
Gender is also more or less just an archiac LEGAL construct, it's simply a way for people to define themselves, it use to be a way for people to define themselves in society.
Now it's just used inappropriately all the fscking time.
TLDR: I guess gender is more complicated then genes or anatomy in reality for any srs level of thought. And it's just simple to fit people into the binary when it's obvious.
