My wife and her friends are progressive in many ways and vote as such, but they too do not like this term. I think it has to do with feeling pushed aside from an innately important, defining thing she could call her own as a woman, when she has felt left out of so many other things throughout her life as a woman. TBH I'm not 100% sure if that's the reasoning though.

I am progressive and I'm getting weary of the degree to which we've pushed inclusive language. Can we just acknowledge, at some point, that there are some, minimal, practical distinctions between XX and XY chromosome'd people? I thought we'd be fairly safe in considering birth and breastfeeding something specific to one sex, but no - even there we have to watch our language.
