The British Medical Association has said pregnant women should not be called “expectant mothers” as it could offend transgender people.
Instead, they should call them “pregnant people” so as not to upset intersex and transgender men, the union has said.
“A large majority of people that have been pregnant or have given birth identify as women. We can include intersex men and transmen who may get pregnant by saying ‘pregnant people’ instead of ‘expectant mothers’.”
Say WHAT??
Clearly, the batmerdecrazy 2%ers run the UK at present. Fortunately, in the US, the 2%ers have been rendered politically and economically impotent.
I had no idea that a man could have a baby.
And they will continue to redefine every single term until all is meaningless.
Elastigirl: “Everyone is special, Dash.”
Dash: “That’s like saying nobody is.”
Great Britain has become Airstrip One.
Speaking of social justice, why was Donna Hylton allowed to speak at the the Women’s March when she along with three men and three other women, kidnapped 62-year-old real-estate broker Thomas Vigliarolo and held him for ransom. Eventually they killed him.
Quoting Mike Stivik: “What about knocked up?”
Traditionally, such small minorities trying to dictate how people speak and act find themselves the subjects of angry, bloody riots. Transgender activists should be thankful that they don’t live in Ancient Regime France or Imperial Russia…
this is what they have to worry about? mustn’t be very many health problems in England.
Are intersex and transgender men really that easily upset?
@ salg: England hasn’t had health issues since they figured out they could just starve their patients to death through medical neglect, and then use their corpses as kindling to warm the building! The hysterics of people who can’t come to peace with their own physical bodies is just about the only thing that the English can’t really use “starve them to death” on!
Unfamiliar with Thomas Beatie, you are:

#5: 10 points.
I’m assuming that by ‘majority’ they mean 100% of people giving birth are female.
Thomas Beatie was not a man, genetically. As a matter of fact the original plumbing was female. So there still have been no men who have had babies.
