'''POV''' or '''People of Vaginas''' is a term for anyone who has a vagina, regardless of gender. It includes people who have had a vagina from birth and people who have had sex reassignment surgery to create a vagina. The term includes most [[cisgender]] women, non-binary people 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]] people who have had sex reassignment surgery, and some [[transsex]]/[[altersex]] 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.
A term similar to this is [[müllerian]], however
▲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.
Related terms are [[POP]] and [[Pon|PON]].
▲A term similar to this is [[müllerian]], however this term is more specific to having every trait of a female, not just a vagina, thus leaving out intersex and altersex individuals. One who is müllerian is also a POV, although one who is a POV is not always wolffian.
