Yes I guess definitions are really easy to create if you ignore any counter examples. 

Mostly I think it has to do with whether gender and sex are different things. If they are then what defines a woman can be different from what defines a female as it is mostly social constructs. Personally my argument for this would be that practically speaking most times you make the call about who is a man or a woman it is not based on chromosomes or genitals because we don't have those on display. It's instead based on societal norms and secondary sexual characteristics that are more obvious to the casual observer. With that in mind, it is reasonable to separate those societal norms from the biological reality and define who is a woman based on those as it's the most useful definition. 

Reasonable minds can disagree on how a word should be defined, on the other hand we've got "Trump won 2020", "Vaccines give you autism", and "Jan 6th was antifa" which are not by any means the same kind of disagreements. 

Then gay people might not really be gay either then, since some people dont base what it is to be gay on how you feel or who you sleep with? Yet that I guess you would wholeheartedly disagree with. Just because some people believe something, doesnt make it a fact. 

What fact do you think we're disagreeing on?
