We’re Being Erased

The website lunette.com describes women (well I’m assuming they’re talking about women) as “menstruating humans”.

Why are we being erased? It’s foul.

We're not being erased, I find this so ridiculous when I read it.
I don't stop being any less of a woman by accepting trans people exist.

By "woman" do you mean female, or something else?

It's the fact that so many people are literally unable to say what "woman" means that we are getting at by "being erased".

One of the descriptive terms for myself that helps me communicate shared experiences due to my body has deliberately been made meaningless. By which I mean people are not able to define what they mean when they use the word.

Has there been any marketing with people who ejaculate yet?

  • Democracy should mean that those in the majority win the argument.
  • The profit motive should mean that delighting the largest number of customers is the aim of product sellers or providers of services.

How do 51% of the UK population continue to get a raw deal and fail to get fair representation from those running the country?

To the people saying this is not erasure and is just trans friendly language , could you please explain why this language isn’t being used for male products ? I’m not seeing , for example, condom companies inform us that “not everyone who ejaculates is male, and not all males can ejaculate” and calling their customers “ejaculators”. I saw a poster for a prostate cancer charity the other day which cajoled me to “save men”: why the lack of inclusivity here? Not all men have prostates and not all prostate owners are men. I would find it easier to believe this was about equality in language and not destruction of women as a class if it was also happening to the men.

I guess that is due to the large numbers of young women seeking to transition and who identify as men; even though as adult human females their biology is still very much a pressing material reality in their lives. They need female products but don't want to be considered as female.

And of course there are not hordes of older women who are seeking to transition in the same way there are many older men who are wanting to identify as woman (after a life time of cross dressing). The young female transitioners are not as demanding of access to male spaces to the extent that males are demanding access to female spaces. There is generally less pressure on maleness, male spaces, male words.

They need female products but don't want to be considered as female.

I thought they wanted to be considered as men, and men can be either male or female? Or do they think there is something inherently non-female about a man, which is a "transphobic" and "cisnormative" assumption?
