'''PWHP''' '''(People Who Have Penises)''', or '''IWHP''' '''(Individuals Who Have Penises)''', is a term for anyone who has a penis, regardless of gender.
Other terms used for this concept include '''PHP''' '''(People Having Penises)'''; '''PEPs''' '''(Penile People)'''; or, formerly, '''POP''' '''(People of Penises)''' and '''IOP''' '''(Individuals of Penises)'''.
This term is made to combat the ideology that having a penis is what makes one a [[man]], and is made promote gender-neutral language and terms. This term can also stand for "person of (a) penis" if one wishes to refer to another person or themself as a pop. This term was also made for more simplicity in describing genitallia in medical situations, such as sex education, as saying 'male' would leave out many intersex and trans individuals.▼
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.

A similar term to PWHP is [[wolffian]], however wolffian refers to having every trait of a male, not just a penis. One who is wolffian is also a PWHP, although one who is a PWHP is not always wolffian.
Related terms are [[PWHV]] and [[PWHN]].
▲== History ==
The term was coined by [[User:Cryptocrew|Cryptocrew]] on March 13, 2021 in order to help relieve [[dysphoria]] and discomfort in many [[genderqueer]] individuals. The alternate wordings of PWHP, PHP and PEP were created by Wiki user foreigntoolmaker on September 30th since some people were uncomfortable with POP. Weniviere, the coiner of the term, did not realize that the original wording "people/individuals ''of'' penises" sounded uncomfortable, due to English not being her first language, and has since acknowledged this grammatical mistake and embraces "PWHP/IWHP" as the main term.
