Her comment sounds like she isn't anti trans but more has a problem with terms like birthing person instead of cis-woman or woman depending on context.
It's not anti-trans to suggest we use the term women rather than birthing person when discussing pregnancy fir example.
It's not strictly anti-trans, but it does erase entire swaths of people who are able to give birth but who aren't women. Birthing person is inclusive of women and everyone else. I don't understand the problem.
It also doesn’t refer to cis women who are unable to give birth for any variety of reasons. It’s specifically not referring to a pretty sizable group of cis women while also including people who aren’t cis women, because cis women aren’t the ones being referred to; birthing people are.
Didn't even think about that, that's a valid point. Thank you for bringing that up.
