It does indicate that I'm male, and being male is part of my definition for what a "man" is defined as. It's not the only part, and it's not even the most important part. Who you are and what you are are 2 different things. You are who you believe you are, who you were, who you want to be, who you want to represent AND who others see you as. What you are is pretty normative at homo sapien.
It wasn't an attack AWTY, just a conversation. I'm not trying to be argumentative.
Colloquially though I feel the majority of people (since heteronormative is the majority currently) reduce the definition of man to the most basic agreed definition. Is that not the case?
I feel like the group that defines “man” as whoever happens to define themselves as a man is growing quickly.
