Wikipedia

  1. reproductive

    The reproductive system of an organism, also known as the genital system, is the biological system made up of all the anatomical organs involved in sexual reproduction. Many non-living substances such as fluids, hormones, and pheromones are also important accessories to the reproductive system. Unlike most organ systems, the sexes of differentiated species often have significant differences. These differences allow for a combination of genetic material between two individuals, which allows for the possibility of greater genetic fitness of the offspring.

  3. Mikiko Galpin -LRB- he/him -RRB-:

    If we're talking about The Supreme Court reversal from an intersectional perspective of gender affirming care and reproductive justice, we've seen these attacks directed at gender-affirming care and more widely just the transgender community dating back to the bathroom bills, these bills are primarily focused on this rhetoric of transgender people either being deemed a danger to themselves or a danger to other people. And I think similarly, the language that's used to deny abortion services also sort of relies a little bit on a rhetoric of protecting people from themselves.

  4. George Paul:
