WATCH: This Lesbian Asks - 'What is a Woman?'

How do you define woman?


I think it's safe to say that 99% of lesbians would only date women. I've been out of the closet for 7 years now and I still can't properly define one.

What exactly IS a woman? You can't say "someone with a vagina" right? Because then that discounts transgender women…and you can't say someone who is feminine, or a person who fits gender role stereotypes, because masculine feminists will come to my house with a bat. So is there any way to REALLY properly define an identity?

What do you think?
