"women are people who menstruate" oh fuck OFF, even IF you're only looking at cis ladies that's dumb as hell. You gonna say a little cis girl isn't female until she bleeds? That menopause kills femininity? That medical conditions preventing menstruation take away womanhood?

It should honestly be a pretty short fucken leap from "not every woman menstruates" to "not everyone who menstruates is a woman," and yet here we fucking are.

next thing you know, you've fallen down the rabbit-hole of "taking the pill to stop periods makes you Not A Real Woman," "not giving birth makes you Not A Real Woman," "having a c-section isn't the same as giving birth, "mastectomy takes away womanhood" and all KINDS of nonsense

Replying to @fozmeadows
"Not giving birth" hits me hard the one time I was preganate I had a late term miscarriage (still birth depending who you ask) and I felt for weeks that I had "failed" at being a woman. Our culture is so fucked up.
