We are also talking about thousands and thousands of years of tradition. Woman is a social category for people born with a vagina and not a penis. Women with CAIS don't even have ambiguous genitalia, they have completely normal-appearing vulvas with a vagina. Retroactively changing the definition of the word because of chromosomes doesn't make as much sense as keeping the traditional common-sense definition. It also neatly destroys all the troon related intersex arguments. Once you wade into the muck arguing chromosomes, the proper frame for this debate is already lost because why are we discussing intersex if the conversation is men with normal XY trooning out and creeping on women? Intersex isn't troonism. Women are people born with vulvas/vaginas. People born with penises are men. And troons don't get to use intersex people as wedges.The discussion on CAIS is interesting. I think something to keep in mind is that even if you do make an exception for an individual with CAIS, loony troons like Stefonknee Wolscht, Kevin Gibes, ADF, Blaire White, and Jonathan Yaniv are NOT individuals with CAIS. Some people having CAIS doesn't make wierd men women.
For other intersex conditions that do have ambiguous genitalia, that can be sorted out on a case by case basis but that has nothing to do with troons.
