  They don't care about coming up with a consistent, coherent definition. They want to stoke hatred and violence. In fact, the longer that they can avoid arriving at some objective standard the better for them, because it keeps the terrified, hateful, vocal, violent lunatics terrified, hateful, vocal and violent.
context: why is everyone so focused on what a woman is and not what a man is? 
  - no one cares about transmen in mens sports
  - no hoopla over transmen in mens bathrooms
  -no fuss over drag kings doing story time >
  
  My theory is it's because transmen don't confront homophobic bros with uncomfortable feelings. >
  
  I have this running theory that all homophobia/transphobia are extensions of misogyny.
  In this theory transmen are harmless and ignorable because they will never be "real" men just women playing dress up (isn't that cute? pat, pat). >
  
  That's an interesting theory; you may have something there >
  
  OP is mostly right, I'm going to write a response to them. >
  
  One niggle I have with that is that bi women get attacked physically more often than lesbians. Straight male partners can treat bi women horribly, because they project and feel emasculated as men since "their woman" might choose another woman over them, they're losing to someone who "doesn't even have a dick". 
  Same goes for other way around, bi woman dating with a lesbian often runs into ugly stereotyping and paranoid suspicions.
  You can find statistics about this in reported crimes. >
  
  Havent they tried this before?
  I dont have sources, but I remember learning about it in college in the early 2000s. It had to do with a trans person marrying a cis person of a different gender. So the couple was a hetero couple, but the state tried to deny them a marriage certificate based on the trans person's assigned gender at birth.
  The end result, which I hope will be the same as this time around, was that the state could not come up with a consistent enough definition of gender that clearly divided people into a binary. Genitals can be ambiguous, chromosomes are not as simple as people think, etc.
  Maybe someone knows better what I am remembering. I want to say this happened in Texas. Please dont draw any conclusions from my fuzzy memory in the meantime.
