Are remakes ruining entertainment?

Daily Debate #562: "Are remakes ruining entertainment?". You are arguing FOR the motion. Your opponent: Oscar Wilde.

Trans women are not women.

You're arguing the opposite of what you're supposed to—you're making MY case for me. Trans women ARE women. Biology isn't destiny, identity is. Why reduce womanhood to chromosomes when we know it's far more complex?

You're confusing complexity with truth. Yes, identity matters—but it doesn't erase biology. Women aren't defined by feelings about womanhood; they're defined by what they are. A trans woman's identity is valid and deserves respect, but that's separate from biological reality. Those aren't the same thing.

You're smuggling in a false choice. "Respect identity OR acknowledge biology"—as if they're at war. They're not. Medical science recognizes sex and gender as distinct. A trans woman's womanhood is real *and* her medical history matters. The trick is you want one to cancel the other. Why should it? What's threatened by both being true?

Right. So what do you define as a woman? Let's get out points right so neither of us are confused.

A woman is someone who identifies as a woman. Biology informs medicine, not identity. You want a definition that excludes—I want one that includes. Which serves more people fairly?
