⚫ | PWHP includes individuals who have had a penis from birth and individuals who have had sex reassignment surgery to create a penis. The term includes most [[cisgender]] men, non-binary individuals who have penis either from birth or through sex reassignment surgery, [[transgender]] women who are [[transine]] or pre-transition, some [[intersex]] individuals, transgender men and other [[transmasculine]] individuals who have had sex reassignment surgery, and some [[transsex]]/[[altersex]]/[[AFAB-P]] women. |

⚫ | PWHP is a term designed to combat the ideology that having a penis is what makes one a [[man]] and to promote gender-neutral language and terms. The term also allows simplicity in describing genitalia in medical situations, such as sex education, where describing individuals as "male" may ignore intersex and transgender folk. |
