Modern medicine developed itself around female-hating ideas- that females feel less pain, that females are child-like, that our wombs make us crazy + stupid, that we need men to make healthy decisions for us, that when men make very unhealthy decisions for us it’s not important.

Particularly when discussing medicine tracking the treatment outcomes for FEMALE ppl is important bc we are dealing w/ an industry that has an exaggerated track record of doing crazy crap to female ppl.

And yes, female ppl who do not identify as women are still routinely harmed by outdated, un-researched, and coercive healthcare. Your identity is important AND the shit healthcare you’re getting is about extremely low standards for what female ppl deserve over the past 150 yrs.

Discussing healthcare is a context in which using “female” and “male” is KEY, not in any way hateful, and demanding we NOT analyze medical realities through the lens of sex is actually hateful AF.

If you’re in the maternity ward and getting called the wrong pronoun that is BULLSHIT and let’s help you sue those fucks. But if you’re trying to cancel an author for wanting the word “women” mentioned in materials on obstetric violence you are also on a weird, women-hating trip.

Replying to @CareyCallsBS
nobody should go out of their way to offend a woman by referring to her in a way she doesn’t like, but how is compelled speech helping anyone here? only women give birth so it’s logical that doctors and nurses will refer to mothers as women, and shouldn’t be punished for doing so

Let’s sue the OB/GYN or nurse midwife who—when you’re 10 cm dilated—got distracted and temporarily forgot that your vagina is a he/him.
