So what word would you use to describe people who have the biology to bare children? Because we need to have the language to differentiate the two.

In the past we used the word "women", but that has been commandeered... Hence my comment about "person" and IWD.

"People". Anyone and everyone has the biology to bare children; you just need to help them undress.

(Not that it's recommended, unless you're their parent or otherwise legitimately required to do that.)


I fail to see the relevance to this conversation, and I have zero desire to get into this on HN of all places.

My point was about how some people cannot simply “agree to disagree” when important issues are at stake. I provided some simple examples. It’s quite annoying that some people insist on litigating the examples instead of discussing the actual point.
