fearoftheminotaur: fractiousrvt: geekandmisandry: tofu–queen: geekandmisandry: Shout out to abortion doctors. So many of you put your lives and safety on the line, looking for loopholes, fighting laws and outright ignoring them in favour of the welfare of pregnant people and their right to a safe abortion. Pregnant people? I think you mean pregnant WOMEN. I’m so sick of y’all always starting a post awesomely and fucking it up in the end. Stop trying to put this genderist bullshit everywhere. Men don’t get pregnant, women do. Men don’t die because they got pregnant and in their country abortion isn’t legal so the only option for them is to try a unsafe abortion, if they don’t have a lot of money. Men don’t get arrested for having autonomy over their bodies and decide if they want a fucking child in their lives. Men don’t get beat up if they’re teenagers and get accidentaly pregnant and have abusive parents. WOMEN DO. Men DO get pregnant. I know a man who JUST had a baby. Your transphobia is so important to you that you had to derail a post that in NO WAY minimised pregnant women. You’re a piece of shit. Am I weird because every single time I see someone throw a tantrum over the idea of ‘pregnant people’ and insist that it is WOMEN, that I read that as the idea that women aren’t people? That non-binary individuals aren’t people? That trans individuals aren’t people? After all, if *people* can’t get pregnant, and only *women* can get pregnant, then any individual who has ownership of a functional uterus is not a person, as people can’t be pregnant.

If I was ever to get pregnant, I’d be THRILLED to be called a pregnant person. Because I’m a person, first and foremost.

@tofu–queen “Not using gendered terms is upholding gender” That’s what I think too! When they say “not pregnant people, just pregnant women!!!” I’m like “uhh…aren’t women people though? Am I missing something?” lol. Like imagine hating all the pregnant people who aren’t cis women sooo much in the name of “protecting” cis women, that you loop back around to dehumanizing them by insisting cis women aren’t people.

AS IF that is the point being made. Guess fucking what, if MEN could get pregnant, you can bet your bottom dollar abortion would be freely accessible. If MEN could get pregnant, there would be no attempt to control WOMENS bodies.

You genderists are the ones trying to change the language of feminism, not radfems.

If ANYTHING pregnancy SHOULD be the issue that trans men give concessions on, sorry! If misgendering is THAT horrible, maybe transition doesn’t work as well as you believe. There is no shame in calling this a woman’s issue, you are trans, you will always have female issues in your life that you will need to deal with.

Trans men, if you give birth you are a MOTHER to that child, you will pass on an X chromosome to that child and it will have your maternal mitochondrial DNA as well. These are just the facts.

You should be okay being misgendered if you want to get pregnant or if you need an abortion. This is a WOMENS issue and always will be. Again, if men were capable of being pregnant we wouldn’t have to fight for the choice in the first place.
