I just watched a TV interview with Germaine Greer on BBC Newsnight where she stated with clarity that an M2F post operative trans person cannot be a real woman.

Your thoughts, not on Greer, but on the topic , would be appreciated. Why not on Greer? Well, if you must, but I'd rather make this a thread with surgical precision and clarity.

The questions it raises for me are based around the question "What is a woman?"

I also wonder if those of us who are Cisgender can answer this topic with any meaningful authority.
