hi, so i recently discovered im more left wing (democratic) than right wing (republican), but im still not the most politically correct. earlier today we were discussing abortion and i said i felt bad for the women who the anti abortion people affect, but my friend corrected me and said i meant “people who get pregnant”, because men (like trans men but still men) can get pregnant. and not all women get pregnant so it doesnt affect them. she said it gently but i feel like an ass</3
You’re not a bad person, she’s more correct, but this is a change in language in process. The bad person thing is to lash out against others doing it as some have.
Also, good on you for actually listening to gentle correction from a friend. That’s something a lot of people struggle with and lash out against
