regarding genital terminology vs "afab/amab" or Cute Eupheisms I've seen the argument "but like it's not acceptable to call a random guy a person with a penis" and in like a day to day context yeah. Casually describing people by their genitalia is a whole other issue. But can we be Real about the fact that 90% of the time these discussions pertain to medicine. Lgbt communities have many gripes with the medical system that's why we're discussing this so often. But I think it's stupid to make these discussions Ring Better To The Ear or whatever. There's a reason resources about liver disease use "people who consume over X amount of alcohol per week" and not "people who like to parteyyy". If it makes you uncomfortable or whatever you can just not discuss human medicine. But if you wouldn't want a medic to describe your TBI as a "big ouchie" then you shouldn't talk about painful female reproductive tract diseases using vague catchalls and especially not using "pussy"

If I was talking about specifically candidiasis I'd just say vagina.

Just found myself weirdly passionate about the topic
