Gender inclusive language in midwifery…

[Justme56]

I haven’t seen a thread on this - apologies if there has been one. Lots of words…

“The notion of childbearing having a necessary or logical belonging within the nuclear two-parent family initiated by heterosexual couples whose gender has a normative relationship with their sex assigned at birth is a recent development in our human history, and one still inconsistently observed around the globe”

PARKLIFE!

This is total bullshit and rewriting history.
Delusional bollocks.

Are they fucking stupid? Do they believe this shit? Don’t they know any history?

Careful! My pelvic floor!

As we keep on reading reports of poor maternity care resulting in maternal PTSD and injuries plus deaths and disabilities for babies, maybe they should just concentrate on their job.

The main author of this is a senior midwifery lecturer Her TikTok is “interesting”.

interestingly the council of deans (associated with midwifery academia) has a position statement on sexed language saying it should be used https://www.councilofdeans.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Position-Statement-Use-of-sexed-language-FINAL-May-2023.pdf

The RCM have also stated they will always use “woman”.

😂😂😂😂

The absolute best response I've seen on this ever!

😂😂😂

@CryptoFascistMadameCholet if you're on Twitter, I'm sure the authors of the original study that this one has responded to would love to read your post...!

I love this post on Twitter about the authors

You got yourself all the education money could buy, learned very little and understood even less.

😁

PARKLIFE 🤣🤣🤣

The whole paper is like a nightmare where you arrive at the Delivery Suite at 2am, desperate for some effective pain relief only to be allocated Judith Butler as a Midwife.

Or, Midperson.

I literally KNEW 3 of the authors would, in fact be authors.

Many years ago I defended sex based language in midwifery on Twitter and one of these authors hounded and hounded and hounded me online - wrote awful things about me until I removed myself from all social media.

At the time I ran a professional Twitter account with many many thousands of followers. It was part of my job. She threatened to report me to the NMC etc.

It was such a dark period in my life. These women are monsters.

I can guess which one!
