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.

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