GP on Politics Live today stressing that the word "woman" is important.

[2Rebecca]

Louise Irvine from CAN-SG (clinical advisory network on sex and gender)was on today about 20 min in saying that on IWD it was important to retain the word "woman" and not turn it in to a shameful unsayable word when speaking about women's health. She mentioned the letter many people on this forum signed that is shortly to be sent to NHS institutions stressing the importance of clarity in NHS matters. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001jw71/politics-live-prime-ministers-questions

Good.

Excellent. I've been really heartened by the number of people working in health generally and maternity specifically who are pushing back.

Good for her and every other woman saying this.

Excellent! Let's start being inclusive of people with learning disabilities, those whose first language isn't English and - well - women.
