To be fair, I kinda does. I had a decidual cast once, which is where the entire uterine lining comes away at once, and it really did look like a ram’s head.

I have no easy solutions for fitting non-binary words into the lexicon, but I do think some situations are straightforward — I.e, “people who menstruate” when you’re talking about periods. But obviously it’s not always that easy to fix.
