u made the equivalency first.

So instead, here’s an actual equivalency:

forced birth.

does this look natural to u?

no comment at this time

no.

i know this is an old comment, but i wanted to reply anyway. im sorry for my comment. i hadnt thought about post-op trans ppl at all.

to clarify however, it wasnt the “first thing” i thought abt trans ppl, im trans myself actually.

i guess ive had too much contact with pre-op or never-op trans ppl and too little with post-op ppl to have this on my radar.

i will try to be better in the future!

well sometimes u need to refer to ppl who have a vagina, because having a vagina is somehow relevant to the topic of conversation. which in my experience comes up very rarely, so i dont have to use it very often.

some people who have vaginas arent women, and so if the topic includes those ppl, then “people with vaginas” is the perfect phrase to use. and if talking about ppl with vaginas who all identify as women, cis women is more fitting.

“female” is a very vague way of referring to something. some ppl use it to describe gender identity, others use it to talk about ppl with vaginas, others again use it to refer to ppl with estrogen-dominant hormonal systems, etc. etc.

“people with vaginas” is one option ig. or if they also identify as women, cis women is another option

A fitting punishment.
