First sentence restated: "My definition will take a step back away from being a definition and instead will defer to that which society, which I will also not define here, generally sees as that thing because the possibility of misidentifying something that does not meet the definition might make me look foolish maybe and this way I can't possibly ever be wrong because I'm crowd-sourcing my replacement for a definition to 'society' while just pretending 'society' generally sees things unanimously."

Second sentence restated: "Society sees people who experience catcalling as women, therefore a woman is someone who is catcalled."

Honestly why bother with "chest feeders, uterus owners (Excuse me, mum, do you have a receipt for that uterus. No? How about a receipt for a vagioplasty? Yes? Thank you, ma'am), when catcallees is a more clear term?"

the rest of the second sentence (transcription error maybe? Is anything 'trans' not an error of some kind?): and since trans women I know get cat-called, they must be women because cat-callers are highly trained professionals out there doing the cat-calling and they can't possibly get it wrong, or be doing it sometimes earnestly (and, what even would that be?) but other times mockingly.

One of Tom's hobbies is going to book stores and moving Aristotle's Categories into the fiction section.
