This is just part of the larger campaign on the part of these sick fucks to liken the vagina, the female reproductive tract & female biological processes - menstruation, childbirth - to the anus/asshole, lower alimentary tract & defecation.

I am reminded of the Martin Niemoller poem about the Nazis & the Holocaust, First They Came For...

First, they came for the vagina and rechristened it the "front hole."

Then they came for pregnancy and said they could simulate it by sticking a hose in their asses and pumping their bowels full of water so their abdomens became grossly distended.

Then they came for pregnant women's waters breaking when they said evacuating all that fluid from their intestines was essentially what pregnant women go through when the amnio sac ruptures & amnio fluid leaks or gushes out of the vagina

Then they came for childbirth and reframed it as "shitting out a baby" or "crapping out a kid."

Then they came for menstruation and likened it to having diarrhea.

Then they came for menstrual cramps and likened them to bowel spasms.

Then they came for the bloody imagery in the book & movies Carrie, but instead of buckets of blood being dumped, it was "a whole tub of period diarrhea"

And so on.

*Fortunately, one variation of "front hole" I heard a few years ago - "franus" - didn't catch on. The two college-age TIFs who tried to convince me of the merits of this neologism a couple of Thanksgivings ago told me that giving birth vaginally is inherently debasing & disgusting, much more so than defecating. Defecating, in their view, was far superior to giving birth because males defecate - and whatever males do counts as superior & constitutes the ideal. In their view, the female ability to bring new life into the world makes us inherently inferior to males. They had lots of other cockamamie misogynistic ideas. One was that males are biologically superior coz they have the ability to jizz every day - or several times a day - whereas us slow & lazy women take 9+ months to "shit out a spawn." I had already "peaked trans" years before meeting these two loons, but they brought me to new heights where I thought to myself, "the extinction of the human race can't come fast enough. Bring on climate change & ceaseless meteor showers."

Wait, what?

I told them I found "front hole" vile & demeaning, so they suggested "franus" as a more anodyne alternative. IKYN. They were two of the most crackers people I've ever met. And amongst the most misogynistic. They also claimed to be gay men. Since then, I've heard through the grapevine that both have cut off all ties with their families & moved to who knows where, adopting new names. I don't know their parents well or really at all - I met them at a very large neighborhood gathering whilst visiting someone else in a different state to where I live, so I didn't know most people there. But I have often wondered what happened to them. They saw all aspects of distinctively female biology to be inherently disgusting & demeaning, & males to be superior & ideal in every way. Sadly, some other young TIFs hold similar views.

wow, their attitude to their own biology is very sad.

But the problem is, it's their attitude towards other people's biology too. Just like internalized homophobia in gay men & lesbians often gets directed at other people (& people of all sexual orientations too), internalized misogyny rarely remains solely internal. These young women don't just hate themselves & their own biology, they hate all girls & women - and they expressed a special disgust & disdain for women who have borne children. I remember thinking they had mommy issues x 1000.

Look at Chase Strangio - a young(ish) woman so hating of her own sex that she's dedicated her entire life to removing the sex-based sports, spaces, services & privacy & safety provisions that women have worked hard to obtain over centuries.
