'I'll never apologize': Leftist Ana Kasparian stands firm after rejecting 'birthing person' terminology

Ana Kasparian of "The Young Turks" is standing behind her view that terms such as "birthing person" are degrading to women.

The left-wing media figure faced blowback from other leftists last month after she spoke out against terminology sometimes used to refer to women, such as "person who menstruates."

"I'm a woman. Please don't ever refer to me as a person with a uterus, birthing person, or person who menstruates. How do people not realize how degrading this is? You can support the transgender community without doing this s***," Kasparian tweeted in March. "I'm sure a lot of women don't want to be minimized to a bodily function or body part," she noted in another tweet.

In a Monday tweet, Kasparian stood firm, noting that she will not apologize for wanting to be called a woman.

"Lol! The meltdowns over wanting be referred to as a woman rather than a 'birthing person' is pretty wild. I'll never apologize for that, especially as biological woman who has had a f***ing lifetime of being told I'm less than. I'm a woman. No apologies," she wrote.

Her recent post earned more backlash from the left.

"You win the Oscar, Emmy and Grammy for Most Toxic White of the Weekend. Bravo for you," Race2Dinner co-founder Saira Rao tweeted.

"You'll be on J.K. Rowling's level of TERFyness within 2 years at this rate," tweeted Ashton Pittman of Mississippi Free Press, using an acronymn that stands for "trans-exclusionary radical feminist."

Conservative commentator Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire responded to Kasparian's post by tweeting, "Ana, you have repeatedly accused me of being a transphobe in the past. Are you starting to see how that label is nonsense used to silence those who speak up in defense of basic common sense?"
