This is the one you need to elaborate on to realize why people have that impression of you. There are many who complain about "woke bullshit" as a flimsy disguise for blatant homophobia, racism, and other deplorable attitudes that are considered characteristic of the far right. Using the phrase as a blanket term tends to lump you in with that crowd regardless of what your actual beliefs are, so I would advise you try to avoid doing that and instead state the constituent beliefs on an individual, contextually relevant basis so people can judge you accordingly.

The reality of the matter is that the social left is very intolerant of the intolerance common to the social right, to such an extent that being so intolerant is often seen as being bad enough to outweigh any good that might come from other, left-leaning views. There's room to debate whether or not that's the right way to approach things (though really, that's a symptom of the two-party system more than any particular individual failings), but it's how it works, so don't be surprised when people don't bother differentiating you from others that share views they consider unacceptable.

She believes that people who menstruate should be called menstruating people. Which... makes sense. I'm not sure why anyone would suggest otherwise.

More specifically, comments like that are part of an effort (one which extends far beyond AOC) to speak more precisely and inclusively about menstruation: Not all women menstruate, and not all who menstruate are women. Therefore, using the term "women" when you're referring to people who menstruate is inaccurate.


Do it then.
