Largely agree with you, but Democrats should drop "birthing persons" ASAP (if they haven't already) IMO.

I'm all for inclusivity, but there's a certain point/form of language policing where you're asking folks to perform a lot of mental labor to adjust their language to reflect an extremely rare edge case. Like why?

It's like if we insisted that people avoid the phrase "look at this" in general communication lest you offend/exclude a blind person who might be listening.

> Democrats should drop "birthing persons"

I've never heard 1 democrat politician say "birthing person".

This was never something "democrats" said and always something that rightwing media says that Democrats say.

There's nothing to drop or defend as this is completely a distraction from real issues.

Basically, rightwing media LOVES picking fringe individuals pushing a position and pretending like every democrat actually believes the same.

Also, there's no such thing as being able to give birth and not being female. Many argue that "woman" refers to an internal sense of gender and not the physical reality of one's body, but even in that framework the term "female" refers to the nature of the body. And if you can give birth, you are female, because that is the configuration your body is in.
