I know that I have a few readers who are women (Hi Linda!!!) so I want to pose a question to you.
Do you find the term "Menstruating People" to be demeaning? I recently saw a video clip of Alexandria Occasional Cortex doing double-backflips to avoid using the word "woman" and instead replaced it with "menstruating people".
If you subscribe to the word "woman" then you are still a woman after the age of fifty even if you ceased menstruating. You are still a woman after you went through chemo-therapy or if you had your ovaries removed. Woman is a status you earned and it cannot be taken away from you.
"Menstruating People" smacks of ageism and ableism and division.
And for the record, women who have stopped menstruating can still become pregnant through hormone therapy and implanting of zygotes produced via in vitro fertilization. There are women who carried their grandbabies when their daughters or daughters-in-law were not able to medically do so. They are not "non-mensturating people". They are women and in my book they are F-ing heroes.
People who insist on using newly made-up terms to avoid stressing the mentally ill seem to be blind to the pain they cause normal people who paid their dues and who are not detached from reality.
Any thinking person knows in their heart that Alexandria Occasional Cortex is a 34 year-old retard who is applauded by the left when on those rare occasions when she does not eat her Crayolas during live interviews.
Don't be surprised if Alexandria someday accomplishes what Hilary failed to accomplish, perish the thought.

Long time reader who is a woman.
ReplyDelete"Menstruating people" doesn't demean me, I reject it utterly for all of the reasons you thoughtfully lined out above.
It singles out the person who sincerely uses the term as a fool.
AMEN! signed, Also a Woman.
DeleteI find all attempts to not use the terms man or woman to be totally ignorant.
ReplyDeleteOr a fool, as ThinkingOutLoud says.
This whole movement of renaming, rewriting, etc. Is just completely frustrating.
You all be safe and God bless.
The frustration and division is the point to the exercise. At no point, did the creators of this mess, ever once not know the difference. That is WHY they chose such an obvious fallacy. As Solyzheim (spelling?) said, the point of communism is to break you down. Of course gender has not changed, but by forcing people to say it has, a little part of them dies inside every time. It is designed to break your mind, your spirit, thats the whole point, not to actually create new genders (but instead new classes of minorities).
ReplyDeleteshe isn't, or they aren't blind to the fact that it's mental contortions to twist the truth. it's humiliation and lies and they get off on it. especially if not called out on it. I call it narc-speak.
ReplyDeletebecause forcing people to live a lie is what communists do. refer to Theodore Dalyrimples quote about communist society.
