"Womanhood is a social act that does not require matching genitals. Pregnancy is a physical condition that does not require identifying as a woman."

"Womanhood is NOT social. Are you kidding me? Women have been oppressed and raped and killed for THOUSANDS of years on the basis of their sex. Girls are still killed in some countries upon BIRTH because of their female sex, should they tell their killers they don't self-identify with the social act of womanhood so they can survive? Are other races just performative, too? Is being black or white a social act? Do you think you can appropriate that as well?

Women WAKE UP. Our compassion is being weaponized against us to remove our rights. This thread is 500 comments strong and almost no one BLINKED at the erasure of the WORD WOMAN when referring to pregnancy. A movement is being colonized to promote misogyny. It's transparent."

upon BIRTH

In the modern era, before birth too.

Yes, with current diagnostic tools like the non-invasive test of maternal blood known as the NIPT the sex of a fetus can be easily and rather inexpensively ascertained at 8/9 weeks. Which helps explain why in many parts of the world like India the custom of aborting female fetuses simply because they are female has been on the rise in recent years.
