'''PWHV (People Who Have Vaginas)''', or '''IWHV''' '''(Individuals Who Have Vaginas)''', is a term for anyone who has a vagina, regardless of gender.
Other terms used for this concept include '''PHV (People Having Vaginas)'''; '''VAPs (Vaginal People)'''; or, formerly, '''POV (People of Vaginas/People of''' '''Vulvas)''' and '''IOV''' '''(Individuals of Vaginas)'''.
PWHV includes individuals who have had a vagina from birth and individuals who have had sex reassignment surgery to create a vagina. The term includes most [[cisgender]] women, non-binary individuals who have a vagina (either from birth or through sex reassignment surgery), [[transgender]] men who are [[transine]] or pre-transition, some [[intersex]] individuals, transgender women and other [[transfeminine]] individuals who have had sex reassignment surgery, and some [[transsex]]/[[altersex]]/[[AMAB-V]] men.
This term is made to combat the ideology that having a vagina is what makes one a [[woman]], and is made promote gender-neutral language and terms. This term can also stand for "person of (a) vagina" if one wishes to refer to another person or themself as a pov. This term was also made for more simplicity in describing genitallia in medical situations, such as sex education, as saying 'female' would leave out many intersex and trans individuals.▼
