Navigating Gender Identity and Inclusive Language: Perspectives from Nonbinary Individuals.

Guests on a recent episode of Dr. Phil debated whether being "inclusive" to transgender people cheapens the idea of womanhood. Women's activist Kara Dansky argued that women are a biologically distinct group and that sex is a meaningful, legal, and physical category. Non-binary guest "Danny" claimed that giving birth does not necessarily designate a person as a mother or woman. Transgender and HIV activist Chandi Moore argued that transgender people who identify as women should be included as women. The debate centered around the use of gender-neutral language and the erasure of women.
