"biological man" and "biological woman" are just a transphobic dogwhistle and misgendering with extra steps

if you're on HRT your body works largely the same way a cis person with the same hormones would

[–] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 42 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I prefer asymmetrical women.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 3 points 3 weeks ago

Not to be confused with assmetrical women (they can use their derrieres to accurately measure things).

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 30 points 3 weeks ago (7 children)

Not to be "that guy" but I think they are mixing their metaphors here. "Biological weapon" is the comparison they're making, not "biological war" which isn't something I think exists,

So examples like "chemical woman", "woman of mass destruction" work, whereas "total woman" or "guerrilla woman" do not.

[–] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 30 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I was thinking "biological warfare". Which still doesn't fit all the references, but I'll write it off as "artistic liberty"

[–] Klear@quokk.au 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

But that would imply scientific liberty, engineering liberty and, worst of all, AI slop liberty.

I assumed it was "warfare," and for that every example works

Ah, a shit post enjoyer of refined taste I see.

[–] silver@das-eck.haus 4 points 3 weeks ago

It's warfare. The only one that doesn't fit is "of mass destruction"

[–] Pipster@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago

I dunno, referring to somebody as a "total weapon" is very valid here

Woman of mass destruction

My sister in law

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Woman of ass destruction.

Pegging

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 8 points 3 weeks ago

I think my sister in law probably still qualifies if I know my brother …

[–] knightly@pawb.social 5 points 3 weeks ago

Now there's a euphemism. XD

In and out in twenty minutes.

OOP: warfare
OC1: war and warfare
OC2: weapons

It's not the same and it irks me. Thanks.

this use of the term "biological" is stupid

hrt and surgery are both most certainly "biological"

I've studied womanfare on the frontlines. I can tell you that women never change.

Forever woman. World woman I and II. The cold woman. The woman in heaven. Asymmetric woman. Woman games. I could go on.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 weeks ago

Ranged Women and Martial Women too

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

I think it actually implies the existence of mechanical women, aerodynamic women, thermodynamic women, ceramic women and computer women.

Women of conquest.

[–] Pman@lemmy.org 4 points 3 weeks ago

There's also trade women, and economic women for less destructive solutions.

the only time that the concept of "biological woman" matters is when you want to make children. every other time it just plainly doesn't matter.

[–] Prikkeres@feddit.nl 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I’d identify as a ballistic woman.

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

you have a large mass and move at high speeds?

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

It's not the mass, it's the curvature of the curve they are undertaking ...
(I'm guessing, not trying to speak for them)

What of the Mother Of All Women??

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago

My wife checks most of those boxes. Now I can't tell if I have a thing....
