The terms “genetic female” and “genetic woman” are used by anti-trans bigots (mostly radical feminists) to imply that there is a scientific basis for distinguishing between cis women and trans women. Speaking as a trained biologist in a field (cognitive science) directly relevant to the matter, there is no such scientific basis.
As a matter of fact, it is self-evident to anyone who has reached even a college freshman level of knowledge in developmental genetics that the entire concept of “genetic female” or “genetic woman” was concocted by people who either flunked high school biology or consciously refuse to allow reality to get in the way of ideological dogma. Because the findings of the scientific community over the past few decades have decisively confirmed that trans and intersex people have been right all along: sex is a hell of a lot more complicated than the straightforward male/female binary.
Because nondisjunction causes aneuploidy. Because crossover causes translocation. Because regulation alters expression. Because the embroyo uptakes exogenous hormones. Because, in all seriousness, sex might not be timey-wimey but it sure as hell is wibbly-wobbly.
