(115,030 posts)I detailed it to you directly precisely to avoid the interjections that confuse the subject.
And no, you are wrong about some of the comments made on that thread. Very much so. I'll end now but after 22 years here, to see women so continually disrespected (especially feminists) while they gladly applaud and embrace your efforts to end transphobic or homophobic attitudes here is just depressing as hell, especially given your allowing so many here to accuse us of being transphobic when we make clear we are simply advocating to not lose the term "woman." as part of the term when referring to those pregnant. I know, WE really don't count. We've heard that for decades. Never more than now and not merely on DU, but YES also on DU.
And apparently, "we are all transphobes" for merely speaking up for the right for those who self-identify as women to ALSO continue to do so and be respected for it. Or because we are feminists and some here have decided we are all part of that term they love to throw around, TERF (something I'd never heard of until yesterday).
Well, I have not given up on you to interject and do something to help this situation. Hope springs eternal, I guess.
