do you even know why vagina bearing menstruator is problematic? a) we aren't walking vaginas, we're women b) men aren't called walking penis havers/prostate owners c) most women would be ok with women+trans men instead of menstruators.

I can understand that perspective and I've heard it before. I can see why people think it's problematic, I agree with the train of though. Women + trans men would be more direct, less objectifying. But then you leave out nonbinary people. As long as the terminology isn't meant or intended to offend then I think people should move on. There's things that the energy could be better spent on imo.

I appreciate you hearing me out then it should be women+ trans men+ non-binary+ whatever other category I've missed. However I disagree that it isn't meant to offend, as women? we've only been considered good for other things then cooking and baby making (and if you go back further political/financial good) in the last 60? years. Calling us uterus havers or some other nonsense references that, again not having that same language applied to men in health pamphlets is reinforces that dynamic that women aren't human - just things, while men get to be men. The saying "give them an inch they take a mile" applies here, I'm not playing anymore. To stay on topic, until walking penises identify as walking penises and stop trying to force lesbians to try dick I'm sitting my tooshie on this side of the fence. It's not "dick a l'orange" it's a male sexual organ they shouldn't have to try it. Same goes for trans men and gay men.
