Slate Reduces Gender To A Binary Of “Men” And “People,” Conspicuously Excluding Women

These days, it’s considered not just bigotry, but even violence to suggest that gender is binary and that men and women are distinctly different and scientifically defined. Just ask Senator Hawley, who was accused of being transphobic and inciting violence against the trans community for correctly suggesting that the science says that only women can get pregnant because only women have a uterus that can carry a pregnancy.

But, as with most radical woke leftist ideals, there’s a glaring double standard. You’re a bigot if you suggest that gender is limited to a binary of “men” and “women” who are biologically distinct, but it’s apparently totally fine for Slate to reduce gender to a binary of “men” and “people” who are biologically distinct.

Slate’s whole article is about a strange leftist fear that spread after the SCOTUS abortion decision on Roe and Dobbs. Supposedly, law enforcement might use data from period tracking apps to identify women who may have had abortions, track them down, and then prosecute them for breaking state laws banning abortions.

While this fear is irrational for a number of reasons, leftists decided they’d try to confuse law enforcement who might try to do this by creating significant extraneous data that would make it more difficult for them to identify women who might have had abortions. This would be done by creating fake accounts and tracking fake cycles. So Slate’s article investigates whether this plan would actually “help protect people seeking abortions.” People. Not women. Because insinuating that women are the only type of person who might seek an abortion necessarily excludes trans and nonbinary people who are biologically female and can get pregnant. Doesn’t matter that only biological women with a uterus have the capability to become pregnant. “Women” is discriminatory and wokeism dictates that they can’t say that or that would make them bigots. So they said “people seeking abortions.” Because “people” is apparently more inclusive than “women.”

But they still said “men.” Because if you don’t fall into the category of “people” who could seek abortions, then Slate assumes you are a man, because men do not possess the capacity to get pregnant and thus would not fall into the category of “people” who could seek abortions. A gender binary. “Men” and “people.” Meanwhile, women have been erased entirely.
