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)
