*People who menstruate*
āPeople who menstruateā includes cis women, trans men and nonbinary people who menstruate.
It also correctly excludes post-menopausal people.
Itās only used in the context of people menstruating, not as a general term to designate all women (same applies to āpregnant peopleā).

Iām nonbinary and have menstruated (not any more as Iām post-menopausal)
so Iām included by the term āpeople who used to menstruateā and excluded by āwomenā.

It was uncomfortable for me to write this post because I am from a generation that was brought up not to talk about menstruation in front of (cisgender) men.
But I did it because using inclusive terminology helps trans men and nonbinary people to get gynaecological care when they need it.

And the phrase āall womenā includes trans women, who do not menstruate.
(āPeople who menstruateā correctly excludes them from the category being discussed, which is talking about menstruation.)
