> After lugging around two fetuses that won’t stop kicking my bladder, I have no patience left for gender activists who pretend that men can give birth.
Why does this woman's personal experience of pregnancy make her so offended by how other people who can give birth think of their gender?
I do agree with the author that the existence of trans people shouldn't mean we can't use the word breastfeeding anymore. But I don't think that's the fault of people who want to say that men can give birth.
Here's an idea - why not have resources with different language for cis women and trans men? Just like pages come with different language versions and you can switch in the nav bar.
This would also be medically helpful, as I'm sure the birthing experience is not identical for the two populations.
