    Non penis havers

    Can we PLEASE just start calling it men and wonen again? Yes, we all know what people mean, no, it’s not meant to exclude, yes, trans men with a penis can for this just be considered men (wouldn’t they want that anyway?), its all fine, and yes, this is really REALLY over complicating simple things.

    It feels like people are walking on egg shells with words because dear god what if you accidentally misgender someone or use a word that makes 2 people in the world feel excluded? Peepee? Men. No peepee? Women. Simple.

      Said it this way because I thought it was funny based on the way OP phrased the question as if penises were some kind of gun attachment. Not because of egg shells. It is just a joke. Should be fairly obvious now that I’ve pointed it out. And bonus: it’s very inclusive and specific.

      Honestly penis haver gave me zero friction, what’s the issue exactly?

      Like it just covers all cases and is explicitly about the subject at hand. Men and women is vague, full of exceptions.
