And don't think I haven't noticed that, when it comes to "inclusive" language like this, it's only women who are having their place in their conversation subsumed by other people.

Not really. As a trans woman who's recently gone through fertility preservation I can assure you that that side of things also has inclusive language. Perhaps consider it's more the case that you're not aware of all the areas that it comes up in.

What is "fertility preservation" to a trans woman?  Someone fill me in?

Froze her sperm.

[jorma]

Women aren't defined by genitalia though, hence why the language is used.

Brilliant! Women aren't defined by genitalia, which is why we now call them "uterus havers" instead of "women"! Shit makes total sense when you think about it!

Honestly? I understand where she's coming from. Transgender people don't need to be centered in every single conversation. For example, if we're talking about abortion, it's okay -- and, I'd argue, the right thing to do -- to say "women" and "women's rights." And "women need access to abortion." And then, when appropriate or called for, expand that conversation to include trans men and non-binary people. Because it's ten-year-old girls that are being raped in this country and being forced to give birth. Ten-year-old girls.

Ok.  Just wanted to make sure jacking your big 'ol dick to later put your cum inside of a woman's puss was still considered gender-affirming for women

[Propagandhim]

Ok, maybe that's uncalled for.   

But, I don't know.  When I hear these stories of transmen carrying a baby in their uterus for 9 months, and then complain how someone getting their pronouns wrong is an affront to what's gender-affirming...it's just...what?

"next the republicans are going to round us all up into prison camps" is (charitably) just as hyperbolic as "next we're going to be forced to celebrate Womb-Havers Day and campaign for womb-havers rights and watch womb-havers sports"


also since when have medical terms NEVER slipped out into common vernacular, if for no other reason than people being provocateurs? is it really such an unrealistic concern? how hard is it to acknowledge it: ok, you are women and will always be women and we are on your side here?

I'm not sure how closely you followed the abortion debate in the US, but there was some very heavy pushback about how news organizations and reporters talked about this issue. A lot of people wanted journalists to stop saying "pregnant women" in place of "people with uteruses," and it drove me -- and many others -- up a wall. It's okay to just say "pregnant women" when talking about abortion.

The "People with Uteruses" pushback was a rightwing grift, the inclusive language that most people use is "Pregnant people"

Same difference.

I feel like we rarely hear shit out of trans men in general--although this could just be the Era effect. "Pregnant people" being a preferred term for trans men makes sense, but I can't imagine they're any more excited to be referred to as "people who menstruate" than cis women and they weirdly never seem to be given space to speak for themselves.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

Btw,

The whole "people with uterus" is bastardization(hah!)  of the AP guidelines from last year about pregnant people:

https://www.apstylebook.com/topical_most_recent

pregnant women, pregnant people (already published, but this is a revision)
Pregnant women or pregnant girls, or women seeking abortions/girls seeking abortions, is acceptable phrasing. Phrasing like pregnant people or people seeking abortions is also acceptable to include minors or people who have those experiences but do not identify as women, such as some transgender men and some nonbinary people. Use judgment and decide what is most appropriate in a given story. Do not use overly clinical language like people with uteruses or birthing people.

So once again, to the era folxs lurking, stop being assholes against people on your side.

You realize that a trans man can still be pregnant and need access to abortion, right? It's fine to be specific about who some of the people are who need this access, but it doesn't make sense to purposefully exclude a group either.

How many people do you think this applies to? An issue that affects one group in particular (women) 99.998% of the time and another group a statistically insignificant amount of the time is considered a woman’s issue. You don’t mention the other people because the crossover is such a small group of people.

Women aren't defined by genitalia though, hence why the language is used.

Then why are we excluding people who are not currently pregnant? Shouldn't we say "potentially pregnant people with uteruses" so as to not define them by their genitalia and not exclude anyone? We need to be inclusive and progressive by outlining that these types of humans are potentially pregnant people with uteruses and how that's what matters.

One new development has been a sort of quietening on the scientific front. Although you still get the odd piece trying to make the claim that testosterone suppression can remove male advantage, most of the serious people in the debate have given up on this claim. A systematic review of studies showed that, even if hormone therapy reduces levels to those seen in women, strength, lean body mass and muscle area remained higher for at least three years. And we always knew that the skeletal advantages remained.

You realize that a trans man can still be pregnant and need access to abortion, right? It's fine to be specific about who some of the people are who need this access, but it doesn't make sense to purposefully exclude a group either.

How many people do you think this applies to? An issue that affects one group in particular (women) 99.998% of the time and another group a statistically insignificant amount of the time is considered a woman’s issue. You don’t mention the other people because the crossover is such a small group of people.

"yeah hi, you wrote an article talking about the number of Playstation owners who have bought at least one of the Ratchet and Clank games, but I take issue with the phrase 'Playstation owners' because it's quite possible for someone to not even own a Playstation and still buy an R&C game just because they like the cover art and hope to own a Playstation one day, could you please amend the article to be more inclusive? actually, I take that back, I'm not asking, I'm telling you. be better."

This was actually me when I got a copy of Metroid Prime Trilogy without owning a Wii. Then it got discontinued and it turned out that I made an excellent decision

I mean, they're at the point that they are telling women to shut the fuck up about their own healthcare and person-hood. The same thing right-wingers, actual misogynists, and incels do. And they are completely blind to that.

If they were really guided by the science, they wouldn’t be doing it. Disgusting anti trans people.

muscles mass, internal organ size, skeletal structure and the overall longterm effects of testosterone do not exist!

One new development has been a sort of quietening on the scientific front. Although you still get the odd piece trying to make the claim that testosterone suppression can remove male advantage, most of the serious people in the debate have given up on this claim. A systematic review of studies showed that, even if hormone therapy reduces levels to those seen in women, strength, lean body mass and muscle area remained higher for at least three years. And we always knew that the skeletal advantages remained.

The fascinating thing about RE is that they claim to be so firmly on the side of science while never even taking a look at that science.

Like what are the chances that posting this study would get you banned?

Results Twenty-four studies were identified and reviewed. Transwomen experienced significant decreases in all parameters measured, with different time courses noted. After 4 months of hormone therapy, transwomen have Hgb/HCT levels equivalent to those of cisgender women. After 12 months of hormone therapy, significant decreases in measures of strength, LBM and muscle area are observed. The effects of longer duration therapy (36 months) in eliciting further decrements in these measures are unclear due to paucity of data. Notwithstanding, values for strength, LBM and muscle area in transwomen remain above those of cisgender women, even after 36 months of hormone therapy.

Conclusion In transwomen, hormone therapy rapidly reduces Hgb to levels seen in cisgender women. In contrast, hormone therapy decreases strength, LBM and muscle area, yet values remain above that observed in cisgender women, even after 36 months. These findings suggest that strength may be well preserved in transwomen during the first 3 years of hormone therapy.

Community Thread:

Your point makes literally no sense in the context of the thread though. Guy has a windfall, asks what to do with the cash, is maybe a bit glib about it. That's literally the thread. He didn't go barging into a thread about how someone was struggling to pay the bills and brag, that'd be a dick move and totally devoid of empathy. YOU are the one who went into a conversation and then declared that nobody there had empathy toward you when the conversation has nothing to do with your situation and is not centered around you at all. Not every thread is for every person and this idea that people should have to watch their language when they are celebrating something good happening to them so it doesn't make other people feel bad is silly. If someone's being a dick about it then sure, but that's not what happened in the thread. The opening post of the thread was short, a bit glib, but totally fine. It was someone celebrating. Not everything needs to be about your issues and what you believe in. There's room for that stuff, yes, just like there's room for everyone else's issues and concerns. But people need to understand that they cannot be centered in every single conversation because if that happens then there's other people who will never be centered. And I'm sure if you posted a thread about a personal issue, be it bad or good, that you'd want to be centered in that conversation. So we should grant others that same respect and courtesy.

Great B-Dumbs. Now apply this logic to your trans members. Apparently this notion that "everything doesn't revolve around you" doesn't apply to them.
