This question is absolutely a trap, but for some reason, progressives fall for it almost every time. To be clear, the trap is that the converstive will ask a seemingly benign, and simple question, then their opponent will fall on their face in rage while refusing to answer it. They will insult, mock, and otherwise make themselves look the aggressor in the conversation.
In a debate or discussion, you aren't really try to convince who you are talking to. The audience is the true target of your rhetoric.
Now imagine the conversation from the outside, to someone who isn't really plugged into internet culture. The average person who kind of has a vague idea about whatever culture war topic is going on. They know trans people exist, but they don't really follow the conversation, especially not to the point where they understand the current talking points . They know the debate is something about bathrooms, sports, massage parlors, or whatever.
To that person, they see someone ask "What is a woman" and then the other person, in their eyes, goes absolutely insane, responding in a completely disproportionate manner. Do you think that response will convince this random person their side is right? That it is just?
If you think the other person in a conversation will cherry pick your answer.... just let them. What harm comes from that? You aren't going to convince that person. To the others watching the conversation you just have to point out they aren't listening to your answer or are misconstruing it. You can even make it more difficult by just replying with a simple answer.
A simple question doesn't always need the most nuanced and detailed answer. When a child asks you what things are made of, you don't have to explain quantum mechanics to them.
The thing is is that there's only two words that describes the male species and that would be male and man. It's all psychological. A man wants to know that he's a man, but when the definition of a male literally includes the size of their spermatozoa, it makes them feel that they're weak. When they look at the definition of a man, it also includes the definition of any adult human. It's detrimental to them. They have a fear of losing masculinity just because their gender and/or sex does not coincide with the actual definitions that they read. Therefore, the only way to combat that is to ask and define what a woman and/or a female might be. Unfortunately, women are described as adult female beings. Females are described as those that can bear offspring. Which kind of makes women look like the stronger sex. That can confuse and aggravate a weak man's mind.
There is no male species. A species is defined by organisms that can produce fertile offspring. So until two males can have a baby that can in turn have babies, that's not a thing.

Excellent point. In effect those who ask these types of questions are using a type of gaslighting to evoke response. I'll try and remember that.

Yay science! 🚀
A fine strawwoman argument that even includes some shaming language to try to appear superior by adopting a haughty tone.
Your reply offers opposing argument (strawman) 🤷
Adult human female 😉
You spelled “dumbass” wrong. Hope your butch ass gets beaten up in a bathroom stall in a case of transvestivgation gone wrong.
👍
This is a really weird thing to clap back with and I don't understand why you think this type of engagement is beneficial to anyone.
