    Male usually refers to biological sex. This is why you should use neither male nor female to refer to anyone or anything unless you explicitly mean just that.

      Trip is a cis man and the first male human to become pregnant… a biological curiosity!

        Still feels like you are struggling with saying a simple thing by using hyper specific language that excludes where it is not necessary or helpful.

        Why not say “Trip is the first human male to get pregnant naturally.” Them being a cis man or beeb boob 🤖 doesn’t matter.

          The quote from the show uses “male” which is outdated sex-based language. My caption uses the more modern gender-based “man.” I used “cis” to help clear up the confusion because he is not trans.

            in what world is “male” outdated? It refers to the biological sex, defined by your genome. Being a trans man does not magically make you male, just a man. Sex and gender are two separate things

                  If only the social world adhered to science. We would all understand that trans men are men, trans women are women, and this endless debate wouldn’t take up so much of my time.
