"If You Have A Womb...": Elon Musk's Definition Of Woman Ignites Debate

Tesla and SpaceX CEO and X owner Elon Musk has triggered a fresh wave of controversy after sharing his views on womanhood in a post on X, drawing sharp reactions across social media platforms. Musk asserted that being a woman is defined purely by biology, specifically the presence of a womb.

"If you have a womb, you are a woman. Otherwise, you are not," Musk wrote in a post on X.

The post went viral within hours, prompting intense debate among users. Supporters echoed Musk's stance, arguing that biological definitions should remain central to discussions around gender. 

One X user reacted by saying they "can't believe we're living in a time where the obvious has to be stated," to which Elon Musk replied, "Seriously." Another user pushed back, calling Musk's statement biologically inaccurate and pointing to MRKH syndrome (Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome), a rare condition in which women are born without a uterus or with an underdeveloped one.

Meanwhile, a third commenter defended Musk, arguing that the world's richest man explaining what they called "basic biology", only for it to become disputed and controversial even among so-called educated people, reflected a strange moment in history. They added that the exchange itself deserved to be "pinned on the timeline of humanity" as a sign of the times.

The X post came a day after Elon Musk compared his transgender daughter's transition to what he called a "tragic mental illness," reflecting his outspoken opposition to gender reassignment. The comment was made in response to a jab from a Democrat directed at the world's richest man.

The exchange followed remarks by California Governor Gavin Newsom, who told a podcaster he wanted to see more trans children, portraying himself as a strong supporter of pro-trans legislation and LGBTQ rights.

Newsom's office later reposted a clip from the interview, adding a pointed caption aimed at Musk: "We're sorry your daughter hates you, Elon."

Sarfaraz "Not Even Being Allowed To Fail": Questions Raised On Selectors

-
https://ift.tt/gjQfS59 Sarfaraz Khan 's long absence from the Indian Test team has raised quite a few eyebrows. Several former players feel that the Mumbai batter, who has not played a Test since November 2024, deserves a chance in the squad. Former India player Aakash Chopra believes Sarfaraz has fallen victim to a perception battle. The 28-year-old has so far played six Tests, scoring 371 runs at an average of 37.10. He has three fifties and one century to his name. "I think there is a clarity issue in the case of Sarfaraz. I think it is a case of perception and understanding. I am trying to think-they might have a perception that he may not do as well in swinging conditions or play fast bowling well. Maybe he is not our guy in SENA countries. So he did not get the chance. But even to make that perception, I have to allow him to fail. He is not even being allowed to fail. And now there is no place in the team as well," Chopra said on Shubhankar Mishra's YouTube ch...
