The principle is to have your cake and to save it, too. I see this for nonbinary female-bodied people, too. Both groups want everything, i.e., to not be treated shittily like women are treated, but to still share in all the fruits from feminists work and, in fact, to be prioritised in that work so that we cannot say 'pregnant women' but must say 'pregnant people'. We must be inclusive and so destroy our ability to see the female biological sex as the reason for our oppression because it is now just something that applies to 'people' in general.
