    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)[reply]

     Not done: The current wording is the result of extensive discussion, during which a great many sources were evaluated. Please see the discussion archives linked in one of the yellow boxes near the top of this page. -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 21:47, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    We insist:
    A trans woman is not an "adult human female".
    Change it. 90.167.86.20 (talk) 10:53, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    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)[reply

    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)[reply]

    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)[reply]
    This isn't a debating forum – we go by what reliable sources say. — Czello (music) 11:45, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    No. We don't have to take this nonsense seriously at Wikipedia. Get out of here. LesbianTiamat (talk) 02:00, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    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)[reply]

    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)[reply]

     Done. Thanks. Grayfell (talk) 05:26, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
