And the phrase ā€œall womenā€ includes trans women, who do not menstruate.

(ā€œPeople who menstruateā€ correctly excludes them from the category being discussed, which is talking about menstruation.)

It was uncomfortable for me to write this post because I am from a generation that was brought up not to talk about menstruation in front of (cisgender) men.

But I did it because using inclusive terminology helps trans men and nonbinary people to get gynaecological care when they need it.

Iā€™m nonbinary and have menstruated (not any more as Iā€™m post-menopausal)
so Iā€™m included by the term ā€œpeople who used to menstruateā€ and excluded by ā€œwomenā€.

*People who menstruate*

ā€œPeople who menstruateā€ includes cis women, trans men and nonbinary people who menstruate.

It also correctly excludes post-menopausal people.

Itā€™s only used in the context of people menstruating, not as a general term to designate all women (same applies to ā€œpregnant peopleā€).
