THIS DOESN'T HELP, PLEASE SHUT THE F[INKS] UP WITH THIS TYPE OF LANGUAGE AT A TIME LIKE THIS



This isn't going to change anything at all so the language is irrelevant to any outcomes. Republicans were anti-abortion long before more inclusive language was in the vernacular. If you don't like this language don't use it, but you can't expect to force others not to.

The language is dumb, but acting like it's going to do any meaningful damage to the pro-choice cause is laughable. The internet isn't real life.

Agreed, but no idea why anyone who's ostensibly trans-inclusive would be offended by the sentiment of including trans people who can get pregnant.

The sentiment is great, if that's what the sentiment is actually about, but the execution just riles up hateful people while dehumanizing anyone who can get pregnant.

This is the funniest thing I've seen so far today by a lot.

Also agree with these:

The people who use this kind of language are pretty out-of-touch (don't disagree with the sentiment at all, but they should just say 'people') but the people who freak out about it are similarly out-of-touch.

I actually do agree with the perspective that "birthing bodies" is very a dehumanizing term, but I just can't help but notice that the loudest critics seem to be more bothered by the thought of inclusivity than the term itself.

Sometimes, when discourse around this stuff gets particularly bad, I like to ask my very normie liberal girlfriend her opinion just so I can hear her say "I think it's nice to try and be inclusive since lots of people can get pregnant and they have rights too" even though I already know that's what she's going to say. I regret having eaten from the tree of knowledge, I want to return to ignorant bliss

She's a state rep and people like her are the future of the Democratic party if we're not careful.

"Bodies" is like the creepiest and least appealing term to use like that.

That wouldn't be inclusive to trans men or AFAB non-binary people.

Oh damn well. We're gonna have to sacrifice a tad bit of inclusivity to properly message this very important, winning issue.

If you really, really want to make sure you're inclusive of trans people, why not just say "pregnant people"?  Why do we need to invent an almost deliberately alienating new term for this?

If you think trans men and AFAB non-binary people can't get pregnant, you're denying biology.
