hi, so i recently discovered im more left wing (democratic) than right wing (republican), but im still not the most politically correct. earlier today we were discussing abortion and i said i felt bad for the women who the anti abortion people affect, but my friend corrected me and said i meant “people who get pregnant”, because men (like trans men but still men) can get pregnant. and not all women get pregnant so it doesnt affect them. she said it gently but i feel like an ass</3
Meh. The context of the conversation is abortion so you are defining women in the context as those that have a uterus.
The problem is that sex and gender are differently defined but the words are shared. The response to anyone raising facetious arguments is simply “I am talking about sex while you are unhelpfully discussing gender - stop being an ass”
