    In most contexts, you’d just say…”people”.

    Or, if you’re actually trying to make a demographic-wide statement, like how women aren’t good at video games, you’d just say:

    “IGNORE ME, I AN A SEXIST MORON.”

    Basically, the meme isn’t much meant for the word choice, it’s how often incels have statements to make on half the population.

          But cis-women do hate trans-woman, they invented the term “Transmaxxing”

            The multiple of “trans woman” is “trans women” just like with “cis women”, not “trans-woman”.

            There’s also no dash in either “cis women” or “trans women”, it’s not half-cis half-woman like Spider-Man, it’s just a descriptor adjective, like “cis woman” and “trans woman”.

            “Cis” and “Trans” of course come from the Latin prefixes meaning “this side of” or “other side of” such as in Cislunar Orbit or Translunar Injection (TLI) in astrodynamics, or the Cisalpine/Transalpine Gaul in historical geography or in Cis/Trans isomerism in Chemistry.

            “Transmaxxing” is primarily used by incels that believe transition can be a way out of their inceldom, similar to gym-‘maxxing’ etc., while I’ve never heard of anyone actually transitioning for such silly reasons as it’s a helluva thing to do, I doubt that this would work out in their favour.

            Additionally while many cis women do hate trans women, statistically speaking they are less likely to be against trans rights than men, especially on issues like trans women using the women’s bathroom or gyms or other issues that upset some cis people like healthcare access for trans children via either hormones or puberty blockers.

              No no no, It was coined by Cis White women to trash Trans-Women, PERIOD Stop scapegoating incels for everything & stop being a sex-obsessed creep (who wants to peek at other’s sex-life) as well, get some therapy

                Well you brought up up the matter, not me, I don’t have any interest in sex lives of incels or anyone else really, I don’t think it’s wrong to discuss such subjects on the internet though, there’s really nothing to be ashamed of, I didn’t lose my virginity till 20. It’s really all okay.

            Really? Most of my friends and family are super conservative and even though they disagree with the whole concept of transsexuality none of them hate trans women. Maybe you’re protecting your bigotry.

    “people with vaginas” is one option ig. or if they also identify as women, cis women is another option

      When did “people with vaginas” unironically become a way to refer to anyone, especially as an alternative to “female”?

        People with vaginas is the right terminology if discussing something that pertains to vaginas. Eg. “People with vaginas should make sure to see a gynecologist regularly.” in this case, saying “women” would exclude/misgender many trans and intersex people who have vaginas but are not women, while also including some women who do not have vaginas and would not need to see a gynecologist

        well sometimes u need to refer to ppl who have a vagina, because having a vagina is somehow relevant to the topic of conversation. which in my experience comes up very rarely, so i dont have to use it very often.

        some people who have vaginas arent women, and so if the topic includes those ppl, then “people with vaginas” is the perfect phrase to use. and if talking about ppl with vaginas who all identify as women, cis women is more fitting.

        “female” is a very vague way of referring to something. some ppl use it to describe gender identity, others use it to talk about ppl with vaginas, others again use it to refer to ppl with estrogen-dominant hormonal systems, etc. etc.

        When the genital sexuals came on the scene. You know the ones who want to check everyone’s genitals to make sure they are what they say they are. The ones who are only attracted to the genitals, they could care less what is attached to them.

        For them genitals is life and they have infiltrated our government to pass laws like bathroom bills. This will allow them to examine everyone’s genitals. So far they appear to be winning and everyone’s genitals will soon be seen by them.

        The Genital Safety Administration (GSA) will need to have a booth in front of our bathrooms there to perform their checks. Another genital sexual licking their lips in anticipation next time you have to drop a deuce.

    Yes but he’s not looking for a woke word for “females”, so “women” doesn’t help.

        Ladies wasn’t used in the Original Post.


        When playing a RPG of some sort, sometimes they give you the ability to reallocate all your talent points in a different way. Such as switching from melee focused to something magic oriented like a wizard or a witch. This is called a Respec, short for Re-specialization.


        Respec sounds very similar to Respect. The Original Post is about respecting women.

        I appreciate your interest in my comment, hope you have a nice day. Take care.

    clearly ingenue is the correct choice

    or for a potential fun comment thread: is dude gendered? I grew up in a place where a lot of people called everyone dude regardless of gender. That said, when I’ve brought this up, some people get real heated about it.

      To me this feels like you could say “Guys, <insert sentence directed at a group>”, as a general term to catch the attention of/refer to a mixed genre group as a whole. Anyone getting upset that you’re using “Guys” in that context to refer to both men and women is just looking for an excuse
