I hope I have linked correctly.

Looks good to me.

Brilliant article demonstrating the importance of communication, which is the purpose of language. I hadn't thought about how pregnant girls are lost when the term pregnant people is used. Obviously pregnant girls are vulnerable and need extra care. The table is a good reference to how desexing is occurring. The point about breastfeeding mothers being changed to breastfeeding parents hit home with me. I was in an abusive relationship and he hated me breastfeeding and I have no doubt that had this language been used when my babies were born that he would have used it to cut my breastfeeding even shorter than it was. Well done to the authors.

Thank you for the link, FlibbertyGiblets. This is an excellent paper.

I've just read it and it's so comprehensive, well written, thought out, researched, thank you for posting.

I remember reading the abstract or foreword or whatever it was called a while back, and kept an eye out.

My nickname is "gestation unit" at home after I lamented the use of the term birthing person by my local maternity care provider. Calling you out Salisbury hospital!

Just bumping to I remember to read later

I have started that and decided it needs more of my attention - so I am saving it for later. But it looks bloody marvellous!

Thank you. Very interesting article.
