(People who aren’t women can get pregnant, but this study specifically examined people who identify as women.)
No wonder Vice just went bust. Not all women can get pregnant, but being able to get pregnant seems like a useful definition of what is a woman, no?

No, otherwise there could be no such thing as an old woman.
But I must admit that being able to get pregnant really doesn’t seem like a useful definition of a non-woman.
Thought I’d covered that, What was meant is that there’s a set “women”. Being able to get pregnant makes you part of the set “women”. Being able to get pregnant is not, however, the definition of the set “women”.
Tim, I think you should leave these Venn diagrams to someone else.
I am so triggered !
I have never encountered such bigotry.

Having had to wade through such verbiage, I’m surprised that any readers stayed.
Vaginas are now “bonus holes”.
Women have condemned a charity after it suggested the vagina could instead be referred to as ‘the bonus hole’ to avoid upsetting non-binary or trans men.
Female rights campaigners today rounded on the alternative glossary, branding it both ‘misogynistic’ and ‘utterly dehumanising’.
It is featured on charitable organisation Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust on a page for health professionals who are treating patients who have the disease.
Today the trust insisted it was not suggesting the term should be used by all women – but added it was important to reach trans men and non-binary people.
But the ‘bonus hole’ term – which the cause says was developed with expert organisations who work with the LGBT community – was widely condemned.
The page also features a suggestion that the vagina might also be referred to as a ‘front hole’

Imagine rooms filled with ‘experts’, all earnestly trying to find a euphemism for vagina which doesn’t upset mental women who think they are men (you’d have thought cervical cancer quite challenging for that delusion…) and then coming up with ‘bonus hole’. Whatever the question, ‘bonus hole’ is not the answer.
TBH, I think Monty Python covered this already in Life of Brian…
I dunno about “bonuses”, but when I were (a lot) younger “any hole’s a goal” seemed to be the mantra of the day!
I like to say that a woman is a human designed to be pregnant. If the builders f*cked up and some parts are faulty, that’s too bad but it doesn’t make you not a woman.
MC: Whatever the question, ‘bonus hole’ is not the answer.
The Oldest Member might disagree but then again I don’t play golf.

Indeed. If a woman post puberty and pre-menopause can’t get pregnant it’s because something has gone wrong.
As someone else said, if someone is born with only one leg, it doesn’t mean legs are now on a spectrum.
But this is true of men also. The vast majority of men would prefer to be phuqing a small selection of hotties (say the 2023 Victoria’s Secret collection), but their “Reproductive Choices” are being blocked for reasons that are both cynical and self-serving.
Won’t somebody think about the needs of Men?
Surely “front bottom” has been in use for many years, if not centuries, as a (reasonably polite) euphemism?
People who aren’t women are men. Men cannot get pregnant. This is reality. Suck it up.
“he/she thingy it”… just watch this video by Candace Owens. You’ll see what I mean.
What in the World is “Trigender”?
