I suppose it's if trans men give birth. By legal definition, if they've gone through all the legal steps, they would be men, which leaves them left out of a maternity act which only references "women". It's just a widening of scope that includes more people who need the rights in the Maternity Act

This is worse than anything the Church did to women. Imagine indeed if some Bishop suggested removing the word Woman from maternity legislation. The 'liberals ' would be incandescent.

I think they are trying this in Scotland. Removing the word woman.

it’s a crock of shite and hidden from the public

I don’t understand how the most marginalised in society are able to get government s to erase the word women.
