was put into the middle of the lead, and I can't imagine why that level of detail was put in that place. Nobody except a researcher is likely to need to know this level of technical detail. I could imagine it being included in an article somewhere (though perhaps not a general article like this one), but I can't imagine it being needed at the top of the article. ] (]) 22:00, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

== MOS:GNL in the lead == == Person(s)/people with uteruses ==


Instead of using the words "female" and "woman", can we just use the phrases "people with uteruses" and "person with a uterus"? And then we can also specify that such people can get pregnant if they have a functional uterus. This is perhaps the most inclusive we can be, including all people who have uteruses whether they cis or trans, woman and/or man and/or non-binary and/or agender.
On {{diff2|1173893876|5 September}} {{u|Klisz}} removed the word {{tq|woman's}} from the lead, though without reason. About {{diff2|1174977923|twenty minutes}} ago, {{u|Crossroads}} restored it with an edit summary, I then removed it again citing ] and ]. Crossroads has restored it a second time.


How about this sentence as the lead:
With respect to Crossroads' second edit summary, the third bullet point of ] does not apply. We aren't making a direct statement that men can have a uterus. Though that certainly is true for cisgender men (see ]), trans men, and non-binary people. The fourth bullet point doesn't apply in this circumstance, as when modern ] sources discuss uteri they typically do so without gendered adverbs like woman, though some still use sexed adverbs like female. And the sixth bullet point does not apply, as we are already linking to ] and the sex and gender distinction is not overly helpful in this regard.
>Pregnancy is the time during which a person with a functional uterus develops one or more offspring (gestates) inside their uterus (womb)


I also strongly agree with @] regarding this discussion. &mdash; ]&nbsp;<sup>'''</span>]]&nbsp;''']]</sup> 11:13, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
Gender-neutral language issues aside, there is also a ] issue here. That one is pretty clear that {{tq|When possible, do not place links next to each other, to avoid appearing like a single link}}. Because the current text reads "] ]", while being two separate links, it appears to be a single one when rendered. If we are going to keep woman here, which as I've said seems not necessary, at the very least it should not be wikilinked there per SEAOFBLUE. ] (]) 00:20, 12 September 2023 (UTC)


:The "people with body parts" language, though anatomically accurate, is often seen as dehumanizing and as ignoring the social components.
:Refreshing myself of the two past discussions linked in the edit summary, neither of those actually addressed the substance behind the edits to this sentence over the last few days. Both of those prior discussions were specifically relating to including content relating to trans pregnancies in the lead. This issue is not that, as it is about using gendered language for terminology that does not need to be gendered, and is not gendered in recent MEDRS. ] (]) 00:32, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
:Think about the ] that results in excess maternal mortality for Black women in the US. The shockingly high perinatal death rate is not because they're humans who, as a matter of ordinary biological variation, happen to have uteruses and melanin. It's because of their social race and their social gender: they're Black women who live in a society that values this ''social'' type of person less than other social types of people. To erase their gender is to pretend that gender doesn't matter. ] (]) 19:11, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
::{{tq|We aren't making a direct statement that men can have a uterus.}} A stated purpose of is to avoid saying that women have uteri, on the basis that men (and nonbinary people) can too. For the same reason, the sixth bullet point does apply as well.
::Agreed with WhatamIdoing. Also, when we look at how sources (especially ]) as a group talk about this topic, the vast majority simply refer to "women"; it is not the place of Misplaced Pages editors to go against this. This especially holds true when it comes to specific claims that go deeper than "who can get pregnant"; most of the studies that have been done and which we cite really are about women specifically, and not trans men or nonbinary people, even though biological differences between the two (such as hormone levels from hormone therapy) may plausibly exist and affect pregnancy. We cannot commit ] and extend these statements to be about non-women. <span style="font-family:Palatino">]</span> <sup>]</sup> 00:34, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
::{{tq|The fourth bullet point doesn't apply in this circumstance, as when modern ] sources discuss uteri they typically do so without gendered adverbs like woman}} - this is not correct and easily disproven. etc. etc. Almost all such sources refer to the people affected by pregnancy as women, straightforwardly.
::] states {{tq|when possible}}, it isn't a hard and fast rule. But if that is the issue, then removing the wikilink would suffice. Neither it nor GNL justify removing a word that both experts and everyday readers use commonly, typically, and freely.
::] discussion which I linked in my edit summary opened with the user proposing to {{tq|remov words such as "woman"}}. This did not succeed after discussion and never has. <span style="font-family:Palatino">]</span> <sup>]</sup> 00:42, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
:::Correct, but there could be some middle ground here; e.g., there is probably no reason to write "woman's uterus" when just "uterus" will do. But I'm opposed to peppering this article with language like "pregnant people" and "people with uteruses" and so on, because it's still not the conventional way across all RS to write about this subject (even among MEDRS sources, where usage remains sharply divided), so it is jarring to many readers (and highly socio-politicized to many of them as well). As with singular-''they'' becoming the new normal, such language might become the new normal over time, but it has not yet. WP's articles are not the place to engage in a "culture war"; we should steer as far away from that as is practical with bounds of policy. <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family:'Trebuchet MS'"> — ] ] ] 😼 </span> 00:48, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
::::Another way to address the SEAOFBLUE issue is just to not link to ]. We're not expecting readers to need that link to be able to understand this article, after all. ] (]) 00:29, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
:::{{tq|this is not correct and easily disproven}} Actually, a PubMed search for , filtered to show only reviews, meta-analysis, and systematic reviews shows 126 papers published in the last five years. However a PubMed search for , with the same filters, returns 1,446 results. There is an order of magnitude more papers publish that do not use gendered terminology here than use it. Even if you count all papers published since 1975, has 562 results, to 's 5,881. I am very certain that MEDRS do not overwhelmingly use gendered adverbs when discussing uteri. ] (]) 00:53, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
::::It should also be noted that everywhere else in the article where we mention uteri, we either say "the uterus" or just "uterus", without gender modifier. If we don't need that modifier in the article's body, why do we need it in the lead? ] (]) 01:10, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
:::::Something is apparently problematic with the search feature used in that way; I tried to verify the results and they don't work out. For example article shows up in your "NOT" search but very clearly uses "woman" and "women" heavily throughout, both in the abstract and in the rest. . one uses it heavily in the body of the article. one uses the term. And . I could go on but clearly the NOT function in PubMed is not able to identify articles that use "uterus" and not "woman" or "women", hence invalidating the analysis. The fact that the same pattern in the results goes back to 1975, when the idea of avoiding "woman" because of pregnant non-women was nonexistent, is also telling.
:::::The present lead sentence is (a) the status quo and there was not a consensus to change that in the past, and (b) acts as a very broad overview, which later sentences do not. <span style="font-family:Palatino">]</span> <sup>]</sup> 01:16, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
::::::It's the pluralization of woman to women. Unlike a Google search, PubMed does not always automatically search for plurals or synonyms.

Expanding that to all papers ever indexed by PubMed gives 2,170 results and 4,374 results.

:::::::Your results only search titles and abstracts; a look at the fully viewable ones reveals that they generally use those terms in the source even if they happen not to do so in the abstract; e.g. It remains the case that almost all sources on the topic refer to the group affected by pregnancy as women, straightforwardly. <span style="font-family:Palatino">]</span> <sup>]</sup> 01:36, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
::::::::Perhaps they use gendered adverbs for discussing pregnancy, I haven't checked too deeply as it's tangential to this discussion, but ''not for the uterus''. Each of those three papers, as well as the five ] do not use a gendered adverb when discussing the uterus. And most instances of the term also do not use a sexed adverb either. Overwhelmingly when sources discuss uteri they do so using gender-neutral and sex-neutral terminology.

:::::::::For what little it is worth, I support removing "woman" from "uterus" for the simple fact that pregnancies in girls 10-14 are hardly unknown, and it rings culturally hollow to me to refer to such people as "women."

:Given that the balance of the article uses "woman" a number of times I don't understand why we would avoid the term in the lead. The discussion of the number of times papers use woman/women really would need to look at the specific examples to see if/why they didn't use "woman". Did they use an alternative word indicating gender/sex, did they actively avoid specifying gender/sex or was the topic specific in a way that gender/sex simply wasn't mentioned (blood profusion across the uterine wall as a hypothetical example). I think avoiding the word "woman" in the lead would violate the 3rd GNL example which specifically uses pregnancy as an example. ] (]) 06:56, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Epilepsy affects over 1 million people who can bear children in the U.S. . A consortium of epilepsy and reproductive care providers have recently consolidated up-to-date research about epilepsy and pregnancy, including related to anti-seizure medications, on a aimed at both patient and clinician audiences. The site aims to correct misconceptions about safety issues and risks associated with bearing children if you have epilepsy. Adding a section on epilepsy to the Diseases in Pregnancy section of the Pregnancy page would give people with epilepsy and their doctors a reliable place to start researching the implications of getting pregnant while managing epilepsy and medications taken to control it.

By closely working with their doctors, ideally well before pregnancy, people with epilepsy can have healthy pregnancies and healthy babies. People with epilepsy who are not receiving proper medical care may experience breakthrough seizures while pregnant, and their babies may potentially be adversely impacted. Choosing an anti-seizure medication (ASM) with a lower risk for teratogenicity and major congenital malformations, checking medication levels throughout pregnancy, and taking the lowest effective ASM dose can ensure positive outcomes for parents with epilepsy and their babies.  study showed that with appropriate epilepsy care, people with epilepsy are no more likely to experience an increase in seizure frequency while pregnant than non-pregnant people are.

I've got some concerns about this new section. First of all, it's really long and goes into way too much detail (e.g., telomeres). Secondly, I think that some of it is probably wrong. For example, stress isn't technically a ] of pregnancy. Gestational diabetes is a complication of pregnancy; being stressed because you don't have the financial or social support you need is not a medical complication. I'm going to substantially shorten it. I hope we can find a compromise that includes stress in the article but doesn't rely on primary sources or creating stress by making readers feel like their normal and rational reactions to everyday life is damaging the next generation. ] (]) 04:44, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Person(s)/people with uteruses

Instead of using the words "female" and "woman", can we just use the phrases "people with uteruses" and "person with a uterus"? And then we can also specify that such people can get pregnant if they have a functional uterus. This is perhaps the most inclusive we can be, including all people who have uteruses whether they cis or trans, woman and/or man and/or non-binary and/or agender.

How about this sentence as the lead: >Pregnancy is the time during which a person with a functional uterus develops one or more offspring (gestates) inside their uterus (womb)

I also strongly agree with @Sideswipe9th regarding this discussion. — CrafterNova  11:13, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

The "people with body parts" language, though anatomically accurate, is often seen as dehumanizing and as ignoring the social components.
Think about the intersectionality that results in excess maternal mortality for Black women in the US. The shockingly high perinatal death rate is not because they're humans who, as a matter of ordinary biological variation, happen to have uteruses and melanin. It's because of their social race and their social gender: they're Black women who live in a society that values this social type of person less than other social types of people. To erase their gender is to pretend that gender doesn't matter. WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:11, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
Agreed with WhatamIdoing. Also, when we look at how sources (especially WP:MEDRS) as a group talk about this topic, the vast majority simply refer to "women"; it is not the place of Misplaced Pages editors to go against this. This especially holds true when it comes to specific claims that go deeper than "who can get pregnant"; most of the studies that have been done and which we cite really are about women specifically, and not trans men or nonbinary people, even though biological differences between the two (such as hormone levels from hormone therapy) may plausibly exist and affect pregnancy. We cannot commit WP:OR and extend these statements to be about non-women. Crossroads 00:34, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
