      "Pregnant people" fails to understand that knowing you have no safe access to abortion creates a pervasive sense of fear & risk that all the time affects people-who-think-they-may-be-able-to-get-pregnant but not people-who-know-they-can't. (Shorter terms are available for these.)

      Giving away the word to describe the class of people w the *type* of body that has the capacity to produce ova & get pregnant (if all working) gives away the ability to organise together & to talk about how laws & policies affect this class of people. To whose benefit?

      So many 'womens' orgs, human rights orgs have given this word away so easily @amnesty @fawcettsociety @ACLU @libertyhq @rights_info, and every progressive political party. They tell us its the right thing to do. To make women unspeakable.

      In the name of feminism, they say we no longer need a word to describe the material state of being a female person. Biological sex "bears no relation to patterns of gendered oppression, experienced by all women" https://www.taxjustice.net/2019/03/27/joint-statement-of-trans-solidarity-in-feminist-tax-justice-advocacy/ …

          Nemo dat quod non habet. It is not for males to give away womanhood. It is not theirs to give away in the first place.

          We found that TRAP laws - designed to foster the closure of abortion clinics - reduced women's occupational mobility by 5.8%, with no effect on men. What's more, it reduced the likelihood that women went into higher paid occupations by 7.6%. 5/6 https://equitablegrowth.org/understanding-the-link-between-bodily-autonomy-and-economic-opportunity-across-the-united-states/ …

          Feels like watching an intelligent person endeavouring to explain why water is wet. I admire your clarity, but the fact that we're being forced to have this discussion is utterly surreal. Their strategy is clear: Dismantle language➡ subvert meaning➡ destroy idea➡ disempower

          Is the word men still used to describe those who impregnate people?
