Despite the backlash against attempts to erase women in favour of a tiny minority of trans people, the NHS still hasn’t got the memo.
Maternity services should use ‘inclusive’ terms like ‘chestfeeding’ so trans pregnant people aren’t offended, a Government-funded report says.
The report, from the LGBT Foundation, made the recommendation after surveying 121 trans Britons on their experience of pregnancy.
Another example of a gender-loaded term is ‘vaginal birth’, recommending ‘frontal’ or ‘lower birth’ instead.
And what about the millions of women? Were they asked their opinions or are we to have policy based on 121 freaks? Only women give birth. We are a sexually dimorphic species and our language has evolved to accommodate this. We should not be changing our language because a few people might get offended by it. If they do, then they need to be offended good and hard on a regular basis until they get the message that we do not change the world to suit them. They have to live with it as it is and only women give birth and we have perfectly useable words and phrases with which to communicate the matter.
No one has the right not to be offended.
The charity also says some trans and non-binary people would benefit from having a private space in hospitals to give birth, so that they are not made uncomfortable by seeing women.
Fucking Hell!
Atrans” giving birth?? I’d like to see that.
It’s all a load of codswallop. When will this madness end?
Good grief. These loons need to watch the Stan/Loretta scene from ‘Life of Brian’ on a loop, and then maybe they’ll get it into their thick heads. Men do not have wombs. If you have a womb then you are not a man.
“Where’s the foetus gonna gestate, are you gonna keep it in a box?”
This is a form of insanity surely, or is it just the case that there is good money to be made from such activism?
’Only women give birth’
Not according to that Edinburgh student guide! ?
‘Chest feeding’ to prevent offence to perhaps 0.01% of the population at the cost of upsetting 99.99% of the population? Surely some mistake?
“trans pregnant” Translation; a pregnant woman pretending to be a man. Let’s get the biology right at least.
Only one publicly recorded case in the whole country. For this they are altering guidelines?
The lives of people who are not members of the Elite: Women are erasable, men are disposable.
“frontal” or “lower birth”?
And in millions of toilets around the country examples of “rear births” are evident if you care to look, plus pavements and alleyways near pubs in the less salubrious areas, often show late night “upper births”. I wonder if photos of these will make their way into the new prints of LGBGT guides?
