"at a time in my life when I have never felt more essentially female, more debilitated by a physical condition directly attributable to my biological sex, more in need of clear, informative language describing what I’m going through, journalists and medical authorities are hard at work seeking to obfuscate the differences between male and female bodies."

- watwut 4y agoThere is zero ambiguity or confusion in the changed language. The bio parts are super clear.
- Rebelgecko 4y agoI found "chestfeeding" to be pretty confusing. If you put me on the spot I'd assume it was a reference to the movie Alien before I guessed it referred to milking mammaries. I can also see how being called a menstrator would feel objectifying (kinda like how in some contexts calling someone a breeder or a bleeder is derogatory)
- ajsnigrutin 4y agoEspecially because you need (female) breasts to breastfeed... men have chests too.
- infradig 4y agoThere's no such thing as female breasts, there are just breasts and both women and men have them.
- Waterluvian 4y agoI have met our species and I’m confident that if not taught carefully, there will be individuals who are confused to find that they do not produce milk. To be clear, I’m not talking about gender identity, but that unless we speak in clear, non-riddles, we’d be shocked by how many people don’t understand some things that we think are obvious, like how about 50% of human nipples/chests/breasts will never naturally produce milk.

- watwut 4y agoGenuinely, I am confused about what is confusing about that term. There seem to be only interpretation for me and it is not difficult to figure it out. It is not like cis women would ever had boobs on any other place.
