So they suggest using "Internal Organs" instead of Uterus/Ovaries, but the bad word suddenly is okay to use instead of Period/Menstruation, as they suggest to use "Uterine Bleeding" but then a woman is supposed to be called "Person who menstruates"... wow.

Also the disparity between "Person who menstruates" and "Person who pr o d u c e s sperm doesn't sit well with me at all! The adequate counterpart to a "Person who produces sperm" would be a "Person who produces ovule" (But maybe this is not passive and dehumanizing enough in comparison to males, just like "Birthing persons" sounds somewhat passive and ridicculous). What would be a more fitting counterpart to a person who menstruates? Maybe a person who ejaculates?

Yep I've produced many many eggs in my 47 years but never "birthed" anyone. What does that make me? 🙄
