In the previous 2 examples, "woman" was replaced by:
1) "birthing people"
2 "those assigned female at birth"

Now we have:
3) "people who menstruate"

Is that what you meant by "non-men", @anildash?

Oh right.
When I was breastfeeding my daughter, I had so much milk I'd pump & donate the extra for preemies. The hospital would pick it up in glass bottles.

Now @LaLecheLeagueUS blocks me for objecting to their censorship of the word "woman".
I guess I could call myself mammal.

Etiquette tips:

It's fine to use "woman" to refer to males committing murder & arson, attacking people with pickaxes & hammers or enjoying images of child rape.

But don't use "woman" for females menstruating, being pregnant, giving birth, or breastfeeding; that's transphobic.

Brief cognitive dissonance break:

You should refer to women by their organs but also doing so is really awful, gross, and not ok.

Why do words matter?
Why does it matter that the word "woman" is now unspeakable? Why does it matter that we women are now exclusively referred to by our body parts?

"black birthing bodies"

As if a woman's emotions and mind are not the least bit involved when she gives birth.

Is there any other context where you can imagine such dehumanizing language? Where it is acceptable to refer to an entire human being as a body (apart from when that person is dead)?

All this because it is PROHIBITED to use the word "woman". https://twitter.com/yatakalam/status/1325033152839094272

Harvard Med School says "pregnant & birthing people", to avoid offending all the 'men' who might be pregnant and give birth.
