In the context of vaccines.

They need to be told this is not acceptable.

A great example of how education is ineffective without clear language. Their tweet is now utterly derailed to the extent that literally no one is discussing vaccination of pregnant women

@WouldBeGood

pregnant people
Thank you. That's a nice ratio they've got going there.

It's so funny to me that so many organisations and companies are captured by gender ideology, yet every single time they post crap like this, the majority of people are Not Having It - on woke twitter, of all places.

It's heartening to see so many people commenting. It real feels like more and more people are becoming aware

Where's all the posters defending the use of people? I thought this is what everyone wanted and it was only on MN that people women objected?

That twitter thread is rather glorious. Expect some people can expect a knock on the door from the captured Scottish stasi? Sad

They are happy to ignore the settled will of 50% of the population on more than one issue.

I don't have a strong opinion on the subject of Independence, but I note that the SNP seem to believe that the 'settled will of the Scottish people' can have a specific contextual meaning (will of people who live in Scotland, not the wider diaspora), but 'woman' can't.

Do you have a link?

MrsOvertonsWindow · 27/07/2021 21:15

The poor old Scottish government. So many complex decisions.
How on earth do they distinguish between hands or feet? head or toes?
Arse from elbow?

So many challenges for them to negotiate all day long. No wonder they can't identify a pregnant women... Grin

I bet they wouldn't ask DH, or my nephew perhaps.

Ludicrous!

Ludicrous @Theeyeballsinthesky.

There are quite a few dissenters in the Twitter comments

NHS England internal guidance now includes a section on non binary & says that everyone should be asked if they’re pregnant because can’t assume gender 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

CuriousaboutSamphire · 27/07/2021 20:57

They seek Them here
They seek Them there
They seek Pregnant People everywhere
Will They find Them
Will They hell!
Them Pregnant People hide too well.

Pregnant women, on the other hand are fairly easily found the world over!

littlbrowndog · 27/07/2021 20:54

So far up their arses don’t even know who they are talking to

Pregnant people. Who are these people. Is it my dad my mum my sis.

It’s a mystery who those pregnant people are ?
