    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      The quote from the show uses “male” which is outdated sex-based language.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        in what world is “male” outdated?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.
