This has enraged me, seriously I wish this ride would stop as I want to get off!

I don't care how anyone presents or wishes to been seen by society but people who get pregnant are women, adult human females! I wonder if we could banish FGM, period poverty, sex trafficking as quickly as we are erasing the word woman.

Bonkers bonkers

What is wrong with these women

That's fine if they keep it to the individual patient who wants to be adressed in that way. Just don't try and apply it to the majority of pregnant WOMEN.

Exactly Noeffing - surely that is patient care, respecting pronouns would be a part of that.

Did we wander through the looking glass?

So, in order to 'respect' less than 1% or their patients, they are justified in offending over 99% of their patients?

My 12 year old daughter 'educated' me this evening in the nonsense that is pregnant people.

She saw something about it on the news. She is appalled.

She gets it.

Ask MN to edit your title to pregnant women or woman it making me twitchy but then I read the article and now I full blown pmt rage.

No no no no! Just no

Having a conversation with friend today about women’s stuff you know except this time I was acting the role of the snowflake.

Every time she use one of these ‘offensive’ woman terms in conversation I said no you not allowed to say that, because I’m snowflake who’s feeling are delicate.

She was very angry at the end 😁 and full on board taking action to support women’s rights now

I might be reading this wrong but isn't this midwife offering a service to people like them? There is some comment about not disclosing their pronouns- how this comes up, I don't know. Face to face one would use "you" and her name.

I'm surprised they call themselves a midwife.

I stopped at the first line.

"Not everyone that gets pregnant is a woman"

Yes. Yes they are.

Ughhh you get pregnant because you're a woman!
