Adult human female

Common card · No. 472716

"Adult human female" is a slogan adopted by anti-gender and gender-critical feminist movements, with the aim of excluding trans women from the definition of a woman. The phrase is a dictionary-type definition of woman, and some scholars have described it as a dog whistle for transphobic beliefs. The phrase is often accompanied by other anti-trans rhetoric, sometimes as an answer to the rhetorical question "What is a woman?". The phrase has been utilized by the second Trump administration in its persecution of transgender people.
