As a magical talking lion, I always go with, "Daughter of Eve."

[–] ArtVandelay@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A talking lion and a flying squid? That's some Lovecraftian horror combo

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Flying Squid is just my mom de plume. I’m really a Jesus metaphor in big cat form.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

mom de plume

What would Freud say about this one? It's not overly sexual but I like it.

Yes but he's not looking for a woke word for "females", so "women" doesn't help.

feminine species

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

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 44 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I think "vag havers" is the preferred nomenclature.

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

[–] 3dogsinatrenchcoat@slrpnk.net 43 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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.

Casual erasure of post-op trans people is really fascinating to me. Like, how did our culture shift from the first thing people think about trans people being "have you had tHe sURgErY yet???" to "if you have a vagina and are a woman you are cis"?

I love that this dumb dumb made a post on reddit. There are search engines, large language models, and the good ole thesaurus to find words that are synonyms. Figure. It. Out.

What is the difference between "people with vaginas" and "people with vaginas of the feminine species"? And what is the "feminine species"? Is it some (unspecified?) species where every specimen is of the feminine gender?

[–] Phil_in_here@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 day ago

He calls them the "female species" because the can't (won't) successfully breed with his own.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 day ago (3 children)

People with vaginas include some trans men. The idiot in OP is not totally wrong. People with vaginas are females. But what he means is (cis) women.

[–] DillyDaily@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The way the OP phrases it rules out trans men who have vaginas, trans women who have vaginas, and a bunch of cis women who've had certain pelvic traumas or cancers and therefore don't have vaginas.

What he's trying to say is "if you were born with a vagina and you align with it" which is actually still funny because I was born with my vagina, I like my vagina, I'll be happily keeping it even after all my surgeries....but if this OP saw my face he would put me in the "trans man" bucket because they lack nuance around identity.

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.
