AOC tweeted:

The gutting of Roe v Wade imperils every menstruating person in the US, every person who engages in sex, and every person who values our constitutional right to privacy.

Just one reason Roe isn’t a “women’s issue” beyond the fact that people who aren’t women can menstruate too!

But it's women who are pregnant who might need an abortion, not menstruating women, FFS. Lack of menstruation is a sign of pregnancy. If AOC wants to dehumanize us by reducing us to a bodily function/process, she can at least get the right one by using a term like "people who can get pregnant"...

Also, using the term "menstruating people" as a woke codeword for girls and women of reproductive age makes it seem like female people continually menstruate day in and day out from the moment of menarche right on through to menopause.
