questions ----------------------------------- ---------- does this mean that if i wear a skirt, makeup, a wig (or let my hair grow), i am a woman? if the society you live in considers that to be a "woman," then you would be a woman in that society, as that is what would be regarded as a woman there. does someone's gender depend on having a penis or a vagina? the truth is no; as we have seen, gender is a set of characteristics. a penis or a vagina is not a set of characteristics (each concept is singular), and we can determine someone's gender without seeing their penis or vagina. this indicates that both p and v are neither necessary nor sufficient conditions for determining someone's gender. in other words: it is not a sufficient condition for a person to have a p or a v to be considered a woman, nor is it necessary for them to have a p or a v to be regarded as a woman.
