Inclusive Language - what on earth

You should keep in mind that testosterone treatment is not a contraceptive, so you could still get pregnant if you are taking testosterone and have unprotected sex.
In some situations this would not be possible, actually. Unless they think sex is only PIV? Bit exclusionary and heteronormative.

Anyway, I actually liked the 'The trouble with using the word ‘people’ in a medical setting" section! I think outlining (or attempting to...) the reasoning for what they are doing is a good thing, even if I don't agree with every sentiment.

They've basically concluded that whatever language they use, some people won't like it, which seems right enough...

Welcome to the Orwellian world! I wonder what percentage of their customers don't want to be called women? One percent? Less?

Can you imagine any other market for a product where what the customers are called is not what 99% of them call themselves but some newly invented wishy-washy term so that the remaining one percent can determine the language used.

This is what's happening here. Because some trans men and nonbinary female people don't like being reminded that they, indeed, ARE female, nobody can call ANYBODY among their customers female! Just pause and think about what that tells us about how our sex is viewed.

Gotta love Jake tutting that the phrase “women and people with uteruses” will make trans men and non binary folx upset because it aligns them with women. Oh fuck off. Women aren’t lepers. There’s nothing wrong with being associated with women , unless you’re a raging sexist. And I’m rolling my eyes… yes , if you seek out the contraceptive pill to avoid pregnancy while you have penis in vagina sex that does rather associate you with “women”.

What did I just read? I think someone, somewhere is still typing that article, they unplugged the keyboard but they can't stop.

Kirrin Medcalf giving contraception advice. A person so damaged that at 34 years old, needed their Mammy, their support person and their emotional support dog with them to attend a zoom meeting today. Jebus be good, I would rather take advice from that woman that has 16 kids. At least she would have something relevant to say.
