I'm anti abortion but to get so upset at being reminded of what you are stops you from getting an abortion is insane. The idea that they "need" to get rid of any reminders of reality shows how narcissistic and crazy they truly are.
Some of the comments I decided to copy:
"I completely agree with everything you're saying. They're rather minor changes in terminology, and if it saves somebody from avoiding getting healthcare until it's too late, it's worth it.
Because of the dysphoria, I avoid so-called "Women's" Health Clinics and general obgyn care because of the ache I felt at every "she" and "mother."
This has the potential to harm trans people who can't handle the dysphoria inherent in sexual health care, which could result in potentially fatal conditions, such as cervical cancer or STIs.
Do no harm; that is the hippocratic oath. I don't think saying "birthing parents" or "people with uteruses" is outrageous if it could save lives"
"I had to go on Depo (hrt banned for minors, I was 16-17) from a women's clinic (humiliating), and it gave me symptoms that made my dysphoria worse (except for stopping the cycle, which is the reason I continued it). Because of the symptoms the shot caused, i had horrible paranoia that I somehow defied logic and became pregnant without sex, and let me tell you all the "WOMEN who take depo" stuff did NOT make me feel any better. I really wish it was easier to shift people's language so looking up symptoms wasn't as unbearable"
"The whole "pregnant people" discourse is very frustrating. "Oh, so you want the rest of the population to cater to 1% of people?" Yes... because it's a really simple change and it helps that 1% of people way more than one can imagine. It's frustrating to see liberal "allies" talk about the importance of gendering people correctly and then go on to misgender a large swath trans men in the entire country. *They c*hoose to use *less inclusive* language to cater to a small percentage of people who are transphobic. Suddenly it isn't hard to cater to a small amount of people. They think they'll draw more support for their cause by leaving trans issues in the dust. They'll say they support us but drop us the moment they think our inclusion will be a threat to the success of their campaign. They have a disturbing need to appeal to the people who want us gone."
I dislike pooner's as much as trannies
