Trans women who look feminine or resemble women=women
Men in a wig or a dress wearing a moustache or beard, who don’t look like women=possibly mentally ill men

The statement questions the criteria for defining womanhood, challenging the notion that appearance should dictate gender identity. It engages in public discourse by addressing societal views on gender identity and stereotypes.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement challenges stereotypes, which can promote harm reduction by questioning harmful norms. [+1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    It respects privacy but could be seen as indirectly questioning the dignity of trans individuals by implying stereotypes. [-1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement promotes understanding by questioning stereotypes, but it could be more empathetic.
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    It engages in dialogue but could be perceived as confrontational rather than constructive. [-1]
