When it comes to policy, anything that is meant to affect menstruating women should extend to anyone that menstruates, so it's very important there to speak precisely and inclusively. AOC is both a public figure and somebody who participates in writing governmental policy, so her choosing to speak more inclusively and think in those terms is very definitely a good thing.

I get what you're saying but I feel like the problem isn't not being inclusive enough its the fact that they focus so much on the wording of laws instead of of the spirit of the law. For an example, say there was a law to give women free pads/tampons/whatever then it should also extend to intersex and transmen that need it without explicitly saying it because common sense will tell you that they fit what the law is about.
