![An anonymous ask on tumblr reads "So what exactly do you make of people calling trans women "wollfipathians"?" Underneath status-quo-hater says "I think it's misgendering and completely undermines the entire reason terms like TWDP/TMDP are useful. Body parts are not something you are— they are something you have. A person is not a "wollpathian" the same way a person is not a "male" (with regards to sex). Sexes are social constructs. A person has (or had) a TSDP (Typical sex development pathway), this is no different than saying a person has (or had) a certain individual body part, like testes or a penis or whatever else. It just refers to a cluster of body parts that appear together in perisex individuals. It is a neutral statement regarding anatomy only with no regards to gender. Anyone can have any sex traits regardless of gender. The phrasing of that term defines trans women by their bodies and is literally defined by the person who coined it as a synonym for "the male sex", it's transmisogynistic and blatant misgendering. People with a Typical Wolffian Developmental Pathway are not "male", they are not "of the male sex", they do not have "male sex traits", simply due to the fact that many people with these sex traits are transgender females. A penis/testes/deep voice/flat chest etc are things that women can be born with/develop at puberty. "Perisex trans women start out with [body parts]" is not misgendering. But "Perisex trans women are [term that defines a person by their body parts]" is, it's reducing trans people to their sex traits in largely the same way the concept of "biological sexes" does, and that is offensive."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:e6b5vq7tz4sx4fkxk3ubmtee/bafkreialnjdlssh5baosh5vjbp3evrpe4baripinky5luyzkllqwhtxy7y)
