People clearly don't understand inclusivity here. "Pregnant people" is inclusive of women but "women" isn't inclusive of all pregnant people. The way you worded your tweet was perfect. I just know so many people would feel comfortable in your care.

This went wild and I just need to remind people (men): this is not an invitation to send dick pics. This is not an invitation to tell me you're wanking over my scars. You're congratulating me on getting over my fear by giving me a new fear - men on the internet.
