A vox pop moment.
From a public post on Facebook:
Wut? Terms like ‘people with wombs’ are being sometimes used in medical literature in conversations that are specifically about data connected to people with wombs and that’s how we know the term is not being used as a placeholder for “women”?
This ideology is not good for people’s thinking processes.
According to TRA thought though men can have wombs too, so she’s not wrong. I do wonder what her definition of “woman” is though.
Oh those men. Right.
It’s all so useful for clarity of thought and communication.
Professors are being hounded for acknowledging biological sex. Carole Hooven is an EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGIST who taught AT FUCKING HARVARD no less, and she was hounded out of her job over her plain, simple assertion of the FACT that sex is binary.
I’ll have no fucking truck with this coy playacting that phrasing like “people with wombs” isn’t directly connected to the ugly tribal reaction against the facts of biology that has taken hold among young people.
The primary purpose of such language as “people with wombs” is to appease the ravenous kids who’ve been conditioned to go feral and become outraged at any acknowledgement of biological sex. That’s it. It’s nothing to do with being nice to some hypothetical pregnant butches or whatever. The Venn diagram of, in one circle, females who are willingly and knowingly pregnant, and in the other circle, females who are dysphoric and so deathly incapable of facing the fact that they’re female… that diagram consists of two circles that not only don’t touch, but there’s a football field’s worth of gap between them.
You can tell by the way she describes the whole thing that Annie Lockhart thinks she’s putting her meagre little chips down on the side of the good. In reality, she’s siding with the mob against women’s rights.
Yet again. The madness of crowds warps everyone’s thinking. I see a world of cowards, everywhere I go. No one wants to challenge their tribe…
“Terms like ‘people with wombs’ are being sometimes used in medical literature…”
No, those terms are used exclusively in political literature.

This is where I step out of the debate: The most vociferous of the “mob” are females themselves. This is disheartening. In Maine, a referendum will go to the ballot to decide whether “trans kids are allowed to play sports” (which is the infuriating way our local NPR station puts it). It’s women I hear on the radio saying this. The issue is whether girls teams should include trans girls i. e. boys. I know what I think about it, but VOTERS shouldn’t be deciding this. WOMEN should.
