Also the only time I've ever heard this language was people trying to be inclusive for putting tampons in all bathrooms
I don't want to assume complete bad faith, but she also goes on Jacobin and talks about need more police bc there is so much crime etc. so maybe I should
edit: I've looked through the thread more and I think some of the stuff could be phrased better, although it is primarily used in medical contexts so it's not like you're likely to be referred by these terms in the first place, there were some suggestions in the thread for alternative terms that could get the same meaning across, but the comments were like 80% bigots so even if she didn't mean it, which she definitely might of, she gave them an excuse to be bigots, if she really wanted to make this point she should have wrote more than just the last sentence to preemptively silence some of the typical bigoted arguments, so I'm assuming she doesn't care enough or is just a bigot both bad
It's usually reserved for medical situations where those components are specific. I've never seen it used in general. But the CHUD channels love to take out of context and hyperbole shit and fly it out of proportion to generate rage p0rn.
Like putting tampon machines in the men's bathroom is for a person who menstrates, but FTM or identifies as male.
Or specific needs in a doctors setting. Usually in a quite clinical way.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but that's my impression on the terms. A cis woman shouldn't be outraged at this if they understood the context, but I'm guessing Ana is behind the curve perhaps? Unfortunately she's feeding into the CHUD through by doing so.
This is mostly correct, except that some of it even applies to cis people. A cis women with a full hysterectomy or a cis man without a prostate don't need some medical exams that are recommended for other cis people their age.
