The thing about language is that often the need for precision and accuracy outweighs the need for “inclusivity.”
This Gabe is a trans man, so, a woman, and here she is busily trying to remove the word “women” from the language in the name of a bogus “inclusivity.”
Nothing new, but still irritating.

So only women have reproductive health issues? What about men’s reproductive health?
Well it’s women Gabe wants to erase.
Eava WTF??
How does relabelling women’s health as reproductive health aid men’s reproductive health?
Just because you (apparently) think a man can become a woman by some magic hocus pocus, you also seem to think a Gynecologist can now magically treat erectile disfunction, that they are now magically also andrologists?
I’m not sure that’s what Eava meant though.
Neither was I, which is why I wrote (apparently). But I struggle to think of any other reason why anyone would see the above as a denial of men’s healthcare.
I think the question may have been just why is Gabe talking about women’s healthcare only.
Point taken.
Of course, he’s only talking about women’s healthcare as that is what he will need at various points in his life, although no doubt he’ll also line up for a prostate test.
Gabe is clearly one of those people with no real grasp of the notion that not everybody thinks the way she does. Since she sees ‘woman’ as an irrelevant term she sees no reason why anybody else should give it any importance.
And since when did adults refer to mothers as ‘mommies’ when addressing other adults? Things such as that kind of language use along with the childish anime and manga images that proliferate on trans Twitter is so infantile.
