As a trans guy who has never been or wanted to be pregnant, I'm glad those who want to be included in talk about abortion and reproductive issues are speaking up, but it also gives me the willies every time.

"Trans men and NBs" is too broad for these conversations. Someone who presents nearly full time as a woman but would prefer if their pronouns were respected at the gynocologist has very different concerns than a man with vaginal atrophy deciding whether to ask for a pap smear.

I'm delighted to have NBs in my trans community, less delighted when people talk as though trans men and NBs have the same or similar concerns when it comes to reproductive health.

I understand what you're saying, but I also think that you are casting an overly broad generalization on what trans men vs afab NB people want or care about.

Fair. A lot of the commentary I'm seeing is of the "showing sensitivity to female presenting people" kind, rather than the "practical considerations with long term testosterone use" sort, but maybe I've just seen a couple things and got grumpy.

I'm confused as to what you're trying to say here.

I think I clarified further in my more recent thread: that respectful pronoun use and inclusive language seem to me to be taking the place of education about actual different health needs that go beyond what words people use for who gets pregnant or who has abortions.
