No. Because it reduces a woman down to just a function of biology.

It’s sick. It’s dehumanizing. It’s got nothing to do with Transpeople. Not a God damned thing.

And you can’t say it’s not. No one is referring to men as penises persons, a right or left flopper, a person with a hard on, a phallic dripper or dropper, or a person experiencing spontaneous nighttime emissions. No. They still get to be human men, even if they didn’t start out life that way and don’t actually have a penis.

When you reduce your description of a person down to whatever stage of the reproductive process they are in, you erase the person in favor of valuing and evaluating their reproductive potential alone.

We women have fought so hard and so long to be seen and regarded as more than fucking brood mares. Might as well start referring to us all as c*nts. Really, what’s the difference? How does that sound to you? Do you like being called a c*nt? Does that make you feel like a respected and valued human being?

This language, regardless of the intent, is charged. It puts us right back to being little more than livestock.

There’s already starting to be fallout from it in the way men discuss us and talk to us.

So thanks for that. Really. Well done.
