#terfs are like 'saying 'pregnant people' harms women because it diminishes the role women play in reproduction!' #as if everyone doesn't know that the majority of pregnant people are cis women #no cis woman has ever been turned away from pregnancy-related healthcare because 'sorry you're a pregnant WOMAN #'and this here says pregnant PEOPLE and everyone knows women aren't people' #however trans and nonbinary pregnant people have been turned away because 'this clinic is for WOMEN' #gender neutral language helps trans and nonbinary people and is completely irrelevant to cis women

also like…referring to pregnant people as a group as “pregnant people” as an umbrella term doesn’t stop pregnant women from identifying themselves as women? if you’re a woman and pregnant, no one is coming to your house to tell you to stop calling yourself a pregnant woman. it’s literally just acknowledging that pregnant people who are not women also exist & should also be respected & have access to the care & support they need.
