And yes, female ppl who do not identify as women are still routinely harmed by outdated, un-researched, and coercive healthcare.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.

Wait? How are those 2 things different? If you should be able to sue a hospital for wrong pronouns then suing so medical literature reflects your world view is also valid. No?

i for one would feel safer if all my medical providers were on the same page and referring to me by my sex during medical procedures rather than being confused boomers juggling 27 different patients pronouns

I would feel safer if every professional involved in my birth was more invested in my actual birth experience and not unnecessarily stressing me out for ideology pointe while my cervix is figuring out how to dilate 10 inches.

ironic the person saying doctors nurses and midwives should be sued for sexing people correctly in a medical setting is accusing others of doing stuff for ideological pointe

I’m headed into this situation in a month, it’s very real to me, qnd the rights of people in that situation are very important to me right about now.

forcing others to refer to you in any way you please, especially when factually inaccurate, is not a right. speech, however, literally is.

When you’re getting paid to keep a person healthy there are limits on your free speech. My labor nurses better not be telling me every opinion they got- it’s literally in my birth plan to keep extraneous conversation out of the room.

Not referring to a birthing woman with male pronouns isn’t the same as proffering opinions, or being deliberately cruel. A nurse midwife saying “she” to a nurse (as she does every single day in her work), especially in the heat of delivery, isn’t litigation-worthy.

Disagree strongly! And I will absolutely support trans parents on this one every time! But keep picking a pointless fight with me if it makes you feel good!
