Scottish Government “pregnant people” Twitter

But what do we do about the significant number of women who have accepted the sexist definition of the word woman and do not feel that it suitably fits for them?

Just musing... what’s a male dominatrix called? Don’t know why that popped onto my head (I’m writing a piece on on onboarding and I have writers block...)

oo kitten, can't think which type of people they are.... [insert suitable emoji here]

Some women are more woman than others - they are ‘allowed’ to be women, girls, actresses, firewomen, chairwoman...

And the old "no one is saying you can't say women".

They are saying that you can only use woman to refer to a stereotype or a non specific subjective identity, not to the real material reality of sex.

It's so backwards.

Quick there’s a serial killer on the lose! They are targeting people!!!

What people?
People! People!
Which people?
People aged 19-64
More details please...
White, Black, Asian... people
And?
People who work in teaching...
And?
People with vaginas...

People with breasts...

People who menstruated...
So you are saying the woman teachers are at risk then?
That’s what I said... ‘people’!

Someone on there saying their friend didn’t want to be called a woman when going through “her” pregnancy, then saying said friend was only 14 (tweet disappeared when I was reading it so may have been deleted). I am worried for that generation/believers, and a possible boom in unexpected teenage pregnancies if they believe they won’t get pregnant if they don’t identify as a girl/woman. Someone else said before that their child (or another male child) didn’t think they could impregnate someone who identified as a boy/man.

The argument I see that "women are people" is just total crap. Adult females are people yes. But adult males are also people. Male and female children, also people.

If you say people, that's everyone ffs.

There has to be a word for the specific category of who they're addressing right? Give me some time, I'm sure I'll think of it soon....

And the old "no one is saying you can't say women". Yeah, apart from that message from the Scottish Government

There's no mistaking what a woman is when it comes to being told to shut up and 'be kind'

Thanks - I'll try again

Nope still there. Screenshot for posterity...

have they taken it down now?

just went to the link which was working fine before but now get the usual "oops something went wrong"

Very sexist society. Anything to beat the wee wifies down. Even more gut-wrenching when it’s other women doing it.

Why do they do it? They must surely know they'll get ratioed to hell and back, seeing as that's what usually occurs when you pull out the phrase "pregnant people" or "people with a cervix" and other such batshittery.

channels Mean Girls -

Stop trying to make "pregnant people" happen! It's not going to happen!! 🤦‍♀️

Let’s hope they don’t start a campaign for fathers sperm-producing persons then. Things could get very confusing.

Why are they saying 'baby' " instead of "gestating/unborn people"?

i.e. It's the best way to protect people and their gestating/unborn people from the risks of the virus during human gestation . That'd be more in line with their new speak.

I know a few people that work for the Scottish Government Digital Service, but I don't think that they work in social media. I do know, though, that whoever is tweeting this shit, is doing it within the framework of what they are allowed to do.

Which is another way of saying institutional capture.

That’s a beautiful ratio

Surprise surprise general population know only women get pregnant.

Shocked I am not. Glad to see previous educational standards taught biology! Good luck to the new generation.

I did LOL at the bloke that asked if he should ring his GP to know what to look out for just incase he's a pregnant person 😂

Only one type of 'non-binary' person can get pregnant.

And we all know which type.

So sick of this.

Agreed WouldBeGood
Every time these fools drivel on with their self indulgent ideologies, people look on in horror. Yet they are so involved in their echo chambers that they fail to even spot the reactions.
Such idiots.

I'd like to know the exact number of of that 55000 that are actually 'non binary' or transmen, if any, and why the 99.9999% of the pregnant women who want to be called pregnant women suddenly have their words removed to appease the minuscule number who wanted to opt out.

Those apparently so triggered by being female that they use their female biology to get pregnant and give birth.

The replies are giving me life! Honestly the general population who haven’t heard about this madness are generally like wtf. Their important message about the vaccine is getting lost in this madness.
