Gendered vocabulary should be removed from pregnancy care, suggests Labour MP (from the Independent via MSN)

And what the hell is the difference between a transman and a trans masculine person?

If it were to happen (removing gendered vocabulary) we'd have people who bleed, people who are pregnant... And I know it's already happened in a lot of places but it is a choice and the tide is turning. Greater awareness of the risks of cervical cancer, fine. But changing an entire medical lexicon to accommodate a few isn't.

A transman is a man? Nope.

Actually I should have said 100% of pregnancies are women....0.01% don't identify as female.

Sorry, just seen this.
Only women, however they identify, agreed 👍.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few ..... 99.9% 0f pregnancies are women...the minuscule amount of Trans identifying women who also fall pregnant, or need maternity services, have no right to dictate what we're called or referred too.

100%!!

"Trans men and trans masculine people face a number of barriers to healthcare..." which they have erected themselves.

A transman is a woman
if they’re so horrified by their female body then why are they giving birth?

rubyslippers · 21/11/2024 18:56

The only people who can give birth are women
it is the MOST gendered thing you can do
language means something - women, mothers, breastfeeding
