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.
