Should that sentence be in the article ?

@Floisme

There was a time when I would probably have compromised on that, but the implication is that there are people, other than women, who have a uterus. So no.

Same here.

I actually don't mind this phrasing, it's much better than most. But I'd like to know how "people with a uterus" rather than "trans men" is respectful to FTM trans people.

Non binary people?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 05/08/2020 14:25

Trans men? Or do you want to erase them?

Why doesn't it say "women and trans men" then? Less dehumanising?

As much as it is female sex only I don't mind conceding "and other people" for the sake of inclusivity when they have still used the word "women" instead of pretending just anyone can get it

At least they use the word woman, rather than 'people with cervixes'.

"other people with a uterus"
