What a weird thing to say if you study the effect of the pill on women.
- jstanley 3y agoIt's not that they "identified as women", it's that they self-identified whether they were using contraceptives or not, i.e. it was not checked.
- locopati 3y agoThey could be making it clear that this does not include trans men, who are still capable of getting pregnant despite being on testosterone.

- viii 3y agoThey're still women though really.
- itishappy 3y agoThose individuals taking birth control who do not identify as women are likely to be on additional hormones.

- piva00 3y agoBecause the full sentence is: > who identified as women currently using It's who identified themselves as using or not using contraceptives, not just identifying as women.
- cies 3y agoLol. Got the feeling this was some new-speak way of saying they tested women without using the word women, because womanhood is not longer a biological fact but now an opinion. Thank god it's not.
- RamblingCTO 3y agoAhhhh so I misunderstood. Cheers!
