(9,989 posts)Inclusive language is only an acknowledgement of the FACT that are people who can and sometimes do become pregnant, who have uteruses, who menstruate, etc. who are not women.
This is inclusive of people with those body parts and experiences who are men or non-binary. So when you're talking about issues like abortion or access to menstrual products or care of conditions like uterine cancer and endometriosis, you need to learn to talk about those things INCLUSIVELY.
I'm a cis woman, and the fact that I am a person with a uterus pretty much never comes up in conversation outside of a medical context (since I never wanted kids and I've aged out of menstruation) but if I'm talking with medical professions, I do not mind one bit being called a person with a uterus because it's just literally true, and as long as I'm treated like a PERSON and not an object, we're cool.
I want the same comfort level for my trans siblings. I want them to be able to talk about their bodies and organs without being misgendered.
