I will start this off by stating I am not transphobic. I have space in my life for anyone regardless of how they wish to identify, I will always show respect until someone disrespects me. What annoys me immensely is when trans activists and other supporters come out with graphics that erase women. I’ve seen graphics this week on twitter stating it’s wrong to call someone mother/girl/woman/women and that inclusive language is “cervix haver”, “birth giver”, I’ll attach the graphic for reference.
The trans group who regularly shares this kind of content refuses to acknowledge that many people prefer to be identified as women/mother/girl/woman and find it deeply offensive to be referred to the owner of female organs by some description. What also baffles me is these graphics never contain inclusive language for transmen like “prostate owner”, “penis haver” etc. It’s all dominated by female reproductive organs.
I’ll say again I have absolutely no problem or issue using this language towards someone who prefers to use this language, but what I don’t respect is someone taking away my preferred language.
