What do you wonder exactly? Where is the confusion?

Do you not know what ovulation is? Ovulation is the phase of the menstrual cycle when a mature egg is released from the ovary.

Do you not understand what people are? People is an American weekly magazine that specializes in celebrity news and human-interest stories. Okay, I'm being cheeky here.

Or is it that you assume that people can't ovulate? I can assure you, they can. For example:

You literally got a research paper proving the contrary handed to you on a silver platter. We know what you were trying to say, the parent comment is calling you out

Oh, so because this one occurrence of disorder, we are now speaking “ovulating people” instead of “ovulating woman”. Not because of some people who don’t know what a woman is?

It's more than one occurrence.

You could learn, but you champion willful ignorance.

They choose to remain willfully ignorant, ignoring science and prefer the ways of lies and deception. No amount of logic, facts, or intelligence will sway them.

Correct, _people_ cannot ovulate. (Some) females can ovulate. One case of an unusual cytogenetically proved phenotypically male fertile hermaphrodite can ovulate.

Wrong. You didn't read my post. 100% willful ignorance and wrong.
