Humanitarian agencies say women and menstruating people are also facing alarming rates of severe infections due to Israel’s blockade of supplies and water.

      Are you implying that those who menstrate aren’t people?

      We get it, you’re Transphobic. Yay for you.

      Your right wing “virtue signaling” when discussing anything under the sun that dares to include trans and intersex people even a little bit is pretty gauche dude.

          Logically his point meant that people who menstrate are also women, not that people that don’t have menstruation are not women.

          I am confused how you got that take of a negative inference.

            If you say “why did you say woman twice” in response to “woman and people who menstruate” you’re saying that being a woman means you menstruate AND vice versa. That’s implying a strict equality between women and those who menstruate, saying that you can’t have either without the other.

            “Logically” he’s saying woman ≡ menstruating person, while you’re confusing his comment for woman ⊇ menstruating person. In reality their conditions have no bearing on each other, so neither is right anyways.

            Really? Which is X and which is Y in this situation?

            I don’t take issue with any implication, but find the sentence somewhat unclear because of the phrasing.

            Would the sentence have still been true if they had just written ‘people’? Wouldn’t a lack of access to clean water and other supplies needed for good hygiene increase infections for everyone?
