Related, from recent news: It’s now possible to read articles of several hundred words length on abortion without finding a single instance of the words “woman” or “women”.
“… before many people know that they are pregnant.”

Two people have said it is detrimental to communication so far yet nobody has requested any form of clarification on what I said
If anything my frequent lack of punctuation needs correcting first, that has caused infinitely more confusion. Weirdly in 20 years of forum use I've never had anyone start a discussion about it.. :)

Just as with punctuation, the intended meaning is clear within context. I knew the article was about women, but reading "female-identifying people" made me do a double take.
I don't question trans women were included too, but your phrasing made me doubt if this Tiktoker's audience was mainly trans women.
I'm not kidding, recently I read advice for lube for "people born with a vagina".
Sex is not gender, it's detrimental for communication to mix the two.
