By using the term people they are also covering those women who transmitted to become trans men and those not wishing to conform to typical gender roles ie non binary or gender fluid etc.
Nothing to do with transmen.

I’m well aware of why they say “pregnant person”. I object - strongly - to activist language that minimises “woman” as an essential, immutable, important binary category of human existence. In medical issues, biology is paramount, not one’s ineffable sense of self.
I don’t care if as a woman you* think you’re a man, or some other entirely internal, unfalsifiable sense of otherness. That’s your business. However, the thoughts inside your head don’t give you the right to re-write language and expect the rest of us to go along with it. And in discussion of biological issues, most particularly sex-specific issues like pregnancy, it is of primary importance that you acknowledge the essential fact that you are, always were and always will be, a woman.
