the topic of reproductive rights and we

are here to uplift and share with you

all so let’s get into it first it’s
0:22
unnecessary to avoid the word women by
0:25
substituting phrases like birthing
0:27
people people with uteruses and the like
0:30
this language can offend both
0:31
transgender and cisgender people instead
0:34
use phrases like abortion patients or
0:36
people seeking abortions or other
0:39
wording as applicable such as pregnant
0:41
teens in many contexts something as
0:43
simple as patients or people can suffice
0:47
also terms like reproductive health care
0:49
or gynecological care are preferable to
0:52
women’s health care many people
0:54
including both cisgender and transgender
0:56
folks undergo medical procedures or have

health conditions that alter their

reproductive processes it’s sometimes

more important to use limited or
1:04
specific language for example if

discussing a study that only uses
1:08
cisgender women it would be most

accurate to use gender-specific language
