But that's what I meant. Before any of that, how do you live as a woman.
That denotes wearing "female clothes" or growing your hair out or wearing makeup, which is not the definition of "woman". This was precisely that woman's point I feel.
But, the point I was making was India couldn't answer. You might have just answered what you feel it means to you, but India couldn't give that answer in this debate and therefore most likely attaches "living as a woman" to "wearing dresses full time".
