Not just whether things have clear definitions, but whether those definitions have any transcendental truth, or whether they're just useful definitions that allow us to understand the world without being transcendentally true

but what kind of things do you have in mind

Given some of the discussion in this thread, I was thinking gender vs. sex. Sex has a clear definition (specific parts are male, specific parts are female) while gender doesn't.

So I think what I mean by 'essentialist' is: when we talk about sex, is it just an assortment of scientific facts about the world - that is to say, the specific sexual organs that people have are just some sex organs that they happen to have, the hormones that they have are chemicals that affect brains in certain quantifiable ways, and there's considerable variance within each category?

or on the other hand, is there some kind of intrinsic moral valence to that definition, some essential underlying meaning, that dictates some kind of fundamental truth about what it is to be human?
