Straw that broke the camels back today - www.theguardian.com/world/2021/oct/02/pregnant-people-covid-vaccination-coronavirus-us

Can anyone suggest where I can read news where women are referred to by name?

Guardian US is ridiculous. The U.K. edition does at least say pregnant women. The journalist however, is unrepentant 🙄

Avoid American websites. It's 'pregnant people' all the way and it makes my blood pressure rise.

As if my husband and I sat down and had a nice chat about which one of us would carry and birth the child!

Read lots of different sources. It's much better to engage with a variety of viewpoints and writers from across the political divides.

The page had links to pieces from July and august referring to 'pregnant women'...
Anyone want to bet if the next item on a similar theme will have expunged 'breastfeeding' in favour of 'chest feeding'?

The guardian.com on weekends when it's The Observer?

Also The Times. Look online for a special deal, they're often running them.

For general political news, there's the Economist, of course.
Second Quillette and UnHerd.

Sorry, missed point of thread. Just makes my blood boil.

Will have a look at the Times

This is so bloody infuriating. It also leaves no room for any discussion of important statistics relating by to sex based outcomes from Covid. We we all know these pregnant people and breast feeding have female bodies. Why is that so hard to say or so dangerous to print? The term women is being re defined before our eyes so they're all flip flapping around that, but why at the very least can't they say females. Biological females. Argh!!

RT, Spiked, Quillette, The Unherd, Naked Capitilism?

Part of the reason is because pregnant and breastfeeding people are frequently bombarded by misinformation and disinformation campaigns.

Hm quite how the Guardian can reason that with a straight face is beyond me.
