I don't understand why the lgbtqia+ community decided to reclaim the term "fruit" but didn't take "vegetable" either. Like I get it, it runs the risk of being mistaken for a term referring to coma patients and people experiencing paralysis. But also consider this. Especially for the trans and geneder non-coforming folks out there.
Gender is a social construct. We made it up.
The term vegetable is a social construct. It's a culinary term, not a botanical one.
If we can accept corn as a vegetable, when it's biologically a fruit. Then, we can accept someone born biologically female to identify and express themselves as male.
