We define words based on a mutual understanding and expectation, not exceptions. What you're describing is a mutation, by definition, and exception to the rule.
We teach that people have two eyes, two arms, and two legs, yet some people are born with more or less of those features. We don't teach that people have 1.8 or 2.1 arms or legs, we teach that they have 2.
Why is this? Because those are anomalies, exceptions to the rule because statistically speaking they're completely and utterly insignificant.
What you're speaking about is 0.0005% of the population, which is the epitome of insignificant, and therefore an exception to the rule
You keep repeating the same bullshit I've already shot down. Absolutely nothing you've said has any bearing on how we define words.
You keep bringing ip 0.0005% of the population in order to change the meaning of a word. It does not work like that. Which part of that is so hard for you to understand?
I can see opβs point of view. To them it may seem like an intrusion of space. Thereβs nothing wrong with male only spaces, but something like this may be interpreted so many ways even by just the male gender. I think Iβd probably be interested in what some male interpretations of that are from men rather than women though since society seems much more hard on men than they are women.

They are not though. The science on this couldn't be more clear. XX will always be XX, no matter how much fake flesh a doctor sews on.
If you paint an apple orange it doesn't become an orange, and it never stops being an apple.

You keep bringing up irrelevant data. You're just too thick to understand, apparently.
[+]Scifirst1 points [recovered] (1 child) | Copy Link
He's not generalizing an exception. You said it was "exactly" as it works. He's showing you that it is not exactly true, because there's exceptions.
To use your own example:
The number 2 is exactly 2
The numbers 2.1 and 1.9 are almost 2, but never exactly 2.
