She is being disingenuous
It is not degrading to be a person with a uterus or birthing person. Some of us would give everything we own to be a person with a uterus capable of giving birth.

It in no way denies any women their womanhood. It in NO WAY prevents a woman from identifying as a woman.

It is Inclusive as all women are people, so it includes them as well. To say otherwise is to just ignore that fact.

It also includes trans men who deserve recognition. Further, by not saying women it does not link the concept of pregnancy to womanhood which is then weaponized against trans women. Trans women are Constantly attacked by Gender Critical/ TERFs claiming they are not real women because being able to get pregnant is inherent to real women. Which not only is invalidating to trans women but to cis women unable to get pregnant or born without a uterus.

Ultimately, this entirely a right wing tactic to try and antagonize women against trans people. Don’t fall for it!!!

Also this is a great response:
