statenews.org and Jo Ingles know who men are, but somehow have lost the word “women.”
Jo Ingles is “News Reporter/Producer at Ohio Public Radio and Television’s Statehouse News Bureau – serving all of Ohio’s NPR and PBS stations” yet apparently she doesn’t know it’s women who get pregnant. That seems embarrassing.

Me, I would think this is exclusionary of transwomen, who despite having “girldicks” can still unite in sexual congress with women potentially resulting in said pregnancy. What, no clamoring for recognition here?
I am surprised that the TRAs haven’t gone after this yet – isn’t it transphobic to suggest that only men can get uterus-havers pregnant? Ejaculators can be any of hundreds of genders!
The bill doesn’t have “women” or “men” in it, just “people.” So the rhetorical burka was introduced by Jo Ingles, the journalist, not Senator Maharath, who wrote the bill.
@2: Not just transphobic but also misandrist and malephobic! So many rapes are now committed by women! How dare they blame rapes on men? Malephobia! Misandry!

I am going to have my cake, I am going to eat it too, and then when I am done you are going to buy me more cake.
Someone by the name of Anne Branigin has an extremely dishonest article in The Washington Post on the Bette Midler tweet, in which she uncritically quotes TRAs. Just a taste of how she mischaracterizes the feminist position:
Oh god. The stupid [or mendacious], it burns.
The goggles do nothing!
@5: So, one of the foundational principles of feminism is that everyone has such extreme bodily autonymy that they can all unmake their bodies, turn their bodies into giraffes, into antimatter, or into aether? Sounds like a great ideology.
Autonymy is probably a good spoonerism since you can call yourself anything you like, just don’t expect everyone to believe you.
@10: Yes! (But it’s a malapropism, not a spoonerism. Or, at least in my pronunciation, simply a spelling error, since the two spellings would be pronounced identically)
Shouldn’t they say ‘sperm producing persons’ instead of men. After all, some transwomen can make people pregnant?
To be consistent they certainly should, and it’s very interesting that they don’t bother to be consistent.
That’s not just “interesting.” It’s purposely hostile and infuriating. Deliberately disingenuous. Lyingly lying.
