Speedy Parker, a man of great disdain,
Scowls at the screen, his anger in vain.
A forum once pure, now tainted and grey,
By alts, he cries, that come to play.
He rants and he raves, his words a bitter tide,
"How can they do this?" he cannot hide.
Multiple accounts, a deceitful guise,
A mockery of honesty, a digital surprise.
He recalls the days of old, when users were true,
One name, one face, a community anew.
But now, it seems, the rules are bent,
And alts run wild, with no intent.
Speedy Parker's ire, a burning flame,
As he fights the good fight, but feels the same.
Frustration mounts, his words a call to arms,
"Ban the alts!" he cries, with digital alarms.
But still they come, a never-ending stream,
New names, new faces, but the same old scheme.
Speedy Parker shakes his head in dismay,
As the forum's integrity slips away.
He'll keep on fighting, though the battle's long,
For a community pure, where users belong.
But till that day, he'll rant and he'll rave,
About the alts, and the digital wave.
You’re so talented Fishfry Hemingway!

then the argument is moot as it is based on the fact men can be women by insisting they are women.

The word "woman" just means whatever the listener thinks you mean by woman.
To get more metaphysical about it, words are just ideas from my brain, transcribed into vibrational frequencies, that travel through the air, enter your ear drums, up your brain stem, where your brain then associates those patterns with its own ideas, until something like a transfer of information/understanding has occurred.
There is some data loss in this process, it depends on whether or not the two parties are running a comparable operating system so to speak.
But that's all words are, a method of transferring information, they don't have some inherent immutable underlying "meaning" in and of themselves.
If enough trans women say they ARE women, and enough people agree with that idea, the word changes. That's how all words enter into language and lexicon.
Saying someone doesn't have this or that chromosome or whatever isn't as relevant as what it means culturally/socially to be a woman
