How acknowledging a minority also exists "designing society after a minority"?

Because changing the sites/books/medical language that EVERYONE uses is exactly that.

I can "acknowledge" something, but I don't have to change anything.

What size minority counts?

Medicine has done a great job excluding groups as a large as ‘women’ historically. Still does in many areas.

"designing after" would to me suggest solely focussing on, not also including. The same way that we didn't "design society after women" when they got voting rights.

Some people just feel oppressed when they can’t treat those they consider “other” like shit

It is quite a stretch to refer to using the word "woman" to describe someone who is pregnant as treating trans males like shit.

No, what's quite a stretch is the ancestor comment describing our society as being designed for a minority.

And yes actually, trans males would feel like they are being treated like shit by the people in this thread absolutely insisting that gender == sex.

Well, listen, as Eleanor Roosevelt has said, "no one can make you feel inferior without your consent." I think it incredibly disingenuous to equate a literal debate about appropriate medical terminology around childbirth to anything less than that.

I support trans rights; what I dont support is the intellectual terrorism that underlies the notion that just because someone has a legitimate difference of opinion on appropriate language use, they are "treat[ing] people like shit" or worse.

lmao intellectual terrorism, yes my personal opinion on the people who cling to their bigoted views is terrorizing you. Get real.

Real would be acknowledging that only women get pregnant, yet here we are.
