To be absolutely disgusted by this?

I'm so angry. I get that people want to have equal rights but this is not equality. It is the eradication of the rights of "women" in order to appease the minority.

Never voted on MN before, and so pleased to see they've paused this appalling and misogynist cant. Pushback works, and its needed! Great work all round.

Entirely unsurprised by the biological sex of the person who came up with this.

I’ve just read a leaflet on my local maternity site that refers to ‘pregnant woman and other people who give birth.’ FFS!

I was listening to a podcast the other day one I have listened to often

the guest has just written a book about childbirth and pregnancy in Victorian times. Rightly she referred to the women who gave birth, womens struggles in childbirth/pregnancy etc the podcast host used the term constantly people. How people suffered, how the poor people had no pain relief they are talking about a time when womens health and safety during childbirth was so poorly managed many women died but it’s more important to use terminology that isn’t even correct

have deleted this podcast now I can’t be listening to this rubbish

How the fuck have we gone, in society, from supporting transgender people (quite rightly so) to this kind of twaddle.

If somebody asked me for my pronoun I’d laugh in their face and say “I identify as a lamppost, so call me it.”

Absolutely. It's a load of old bollocks, and the more people (sorry! 😀) call it out, the better.

I find it heartening that we can at least complain about it now. Not so very long ago this thread would have been zapped and half of us would have had our accounts suspended and given ban warnings.

This link is to Mondays debate on whether or not sex is meant to be biological on the Equality Act. Surreal! Make your mind up! And consider that two MPs a lesbian and a gay man have received death threats (dismissed by met police) for supporting sex as biological.
