Consider that the next time you see a wheelchair ramp.

People with physical disabilities are a massive % of the population, and could potentially include any person at some point of their lives.

Being a trans birth giver is infinitesimally less common.

Wheelchair ramps are important. They serve an obvious physical function, kinda like the bits that allow pregnancy, and clear language that means things to people with the necessary biology to utilize that information safely.

The people in favor of a lot of the erasures would want the wheelchair ramps removed, if people with functioning legs were the minority. It should not be entertained.

This is a perfect analogy, thanks for it.

No, this is equivalent of removing all stairs and talk about stairs because some people need the ramps. No one is arguing against removal of accomodations.

The question was what is the framework to do the cost benefit analysis? (I’d say giving access to essential services, basic social participation for >10% of the population is pretty easy to justify, but very expensive).

Please say wheelchair-stairs. They are real stairs too.

Please call them chairs of wheels.
