Humanitarian agencies say women and menstruating people are also facing alarming rates of severe infections due to Israel’s blockade of supplies and water.

Might be interesting to see the reaction of a gazan doctor when somebody says this phrase to him.
Is this important to you?
No, just morbidly funny.
You’re not alone in this, those kinds of things are hilarious, but also alarming, lol
Please find a different whetstone to grind your weird ax on.
We get it, you’re Transphobic. Yay for you.
Your right wing “virtue signaling” when discussing anything under the sun that dares to include trans and intersex people even a little bit is pretty gauche dude.

TIL those who go through menopause or have certain medical conditions aren’t women
Logically his point meant that people who menstrate are also women, not that people that don’t have menstruation are not women.
I am confused how you got that take of a negative inference.
If you say “why did you say woman twice” in response to “woman and people who menstruate” you’re saying that being a woman means you menstruate AND vice versa. That’s implying a strict equality between women and those who menstruate, saying that you can’t have either without the other.
“Logically” he’s saying
woman ≡ menstruating person, while you’re confusing his comment forwoman ⊇ menstruating person. In reality their conditions have no bearing on each other, so neither is right anyways.it’s more of a “all of X is also Y, but not all of Y is also X” Situation
Really? Which is X and which is Y in this situation?
I don’t take issue with any implication, but find the sentence somewhat unclear because of the phrasing.
Would the sentence have still been true if they had just written ‘people’? Wouldn’t a lack of access to clean water and other supplies needed for good hygiene increase infections for everyone?
