I was forced to file a civil rights complaint against a former employer, a nonprofit which is still being lead by the same woman. I filed because I had no job after returning from my unpaid maternity leave, in a pandemic, with no former warning. This same woman and organization worked against my claim despite being a community leader in equity and safety for women. It was one of the toughest times of my life. Not only was I postpartum and healing physically, but my newborn was unable to be vaccinated from COVID. I was homebound and unemployed. The lack of empathy or understanding from other employees is something I will never forget...it was the darkest side of humanity I've ever seen. While I was 31 weeks pregnant and fearing COVID spread, my employer refused to take my concerns of meeting with the public seriously. She considered my request for flexible accommodations to not include limited public facing activities. Better protections are more than necessary...especially now.
“If a woman requests a stool to sit on or bathroom breaks, or a water bottle, even accommodations that are that simple, that basic and the subject of so much consensus — employers don’t have to provide those right now,” Casey said in an interview after the vote.
Many women continue working in physically demanding and often low-wage jobs throughout their pregnancies. The legislation would help ensure they had sufficient break time, easy access to water, lifting restrictions if needed, and other sensible protections.

Are you one of those people who thinks "people who can get pregnant" and "people with vaginas" are too long? Well then I have the solution for you!
Introducing these new words (because language is made up by people) that will shorten your sentences but still make the point and keep it inclusive to non-binary and intersex people!
✨Pregnanteer(s) ( 'preg-nən-'tir)✨
- person who can get pregnant
- combination of pregnant and volunteer (cuz pregnancy SHOULD be something done willingly like any service a volunteer does)
✨Vagineer(s) ('va-jə-'nir)✨
- person with a vagina
- combination of vagina and engineer
- treats this part of the body and the other part related to it as complex machinery that needs an expert in the field to properly run and supervise it (so excludes all of those who never had one)
(I'm also someone in STEM so I like the connection to that. Sue me)
Hope you enjoy these new words! And if you don't like them, make up your own! We made "literally" have a literal and figurative meaning to it in the dictionary years ago, so who's to say we can't make other changes to our language?

It covers some very heavy topics, but I think this is a really good article. I think this also could be a really good resource to share with people who don't understand the importance of including trans men in reproductive healthcare decisions.

saying “bleeding ppl” “chest feeders” “birthing ppl” “ppl who menstruate” is not going to end the world, cis ppl.
ur womanhood or manhood WILL NOT END if someone who isn’t cis give birth and prefer the term ‘parent’ or ‘birthing person’ 🤷🏼‍♀️
women, u’ll still be referred to as “pregnant women” but don’t get mad when someone who isn’t a woman gets pregnant & prefers to be called “pregnant person”
it won’t erase ur womanhood.
men, u’ll still be referred to as “fathers” but don’t get mad when someone who isn’t a man becomes a parent & prefers “parent” or any other name.
ur masculinity won’t magically disappear.

Here's the thing: I do not care if abortion is murder.
We can and should have the conversation over whether or not it is, and whether or not the fetus counts as a full-fledged human being, but it's irrelevant to whether I support the right to abortion. Because no matter what, the rights of the pregnant person trumps the fetus every time.
If the fetus was a fully actualized and self aware conscious human person the pregnant person would still have every right to an abortion. Because that fetus relies on the pregnant person's body for survival, and no one is obligated to use their body to keep someone else alive.
It doesn't matter if you think keeping the fetus alive is the morally "correct" choice. Bodily autonomy is a basic human right. Everyone has the right to choose what happens to their body. This is why abortion should be a private choice between the pregnant person and their doctor and no one else.
A common counter argument I used to see from the evangelical right when I was "pro-life" was that the fetus is not the pregnant person's body, it's in the pregnant person's body, therefore the pregnant person has no right to what happens to the fetus' body.
This is missing the point. It doesn't matter if the fetus is the pregnant person's body, what matters is that the pregnant person's body is hosting the fetus. If the pregnant person decides they do not want to continue to keep that fetus inside their body, then that is their perogative.
Another argument I would hear from the evangelical right is, what about the fetus? Doesn't the fetus also have human rights such as the right to bodily autonomy and the right to life, and aren't we infringing on the fetus' rights when we let the pregnant person exercise their right to bodily autonomy?
This is also missing the point. Granting for the sake of argument that the fetus has human rights, the fetus' survival relies on the pregnant person's body. It is not the other way around. No one is obligated to keep another person alive with their body, even if removing them means the person who is relying on them will certainly die. Every human has a right to life, but no one has the right to force another person to keep them alive. Just like it'd be with anyone else, the fetus' hypothetical rights end when they infringe on the rights of the pregnant person's.
Even if you think abortion kills a human being, abortion is still a human right.
There's a lot more that can and should be said about abortion. But at the end of the day, what it comes down to is the right to bodily autonomy. Abortion is a basic human right. We need to protect that right.

On June 24th, 2022 the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
We're sending love to all of our pregnancy-capable friends, family and loved ones. We are also scared for our LGBTQIA friends whose marriages, healthcare and safety are also called into question by this opinion. It is bad and it is going to get worse.
You may want to know how to help. I am sharing some good information and resources here for those who are interested.
What Will Happen Legally:
Abortion is no longer protected at the federal level. States are able to criminalize abortion care. Abortion will remain legal in many states and clinics will be providing care.
26 states are certain or very likely to completely ban abortion (see map below). This will result in an unprecedented public health crisis, on top of the one we already had going on, along with a rapid expansion of the criminalization of pregnant people.

Leftists: What are the leading causes of death amongst people who identify as pregnant people but who don’t have a womb but identify as dead but are still breathing?

"Pregnant people in America are more likely to die during or soon after pregnancy than anywhere else in the developed world, and the maternal death rate is nearly three times higher for Black women than white women. Some maternal health care experts say birth centers could help close the racial health equity gap."
