Gendered vocabulary should be removed from pregnancy care, suggests Labour MP

[Gymnopedie]

Gendered vocabulary should be removed from pregnancy care, suggests Labour MP (from the Independent via MSN)

And what the hell is the difference between a transman and a trans masculine person?

If it were to happen (removing gendered vocabulary) we'd have people who bleed, people who are pregnant... And I know it's already happened in a lot of places but it is a choice and the tide is turning. Greater awareness of the risks of cervical cancer, fine. But changing an entire medical lexicon to accommodate a few isn't.

A transman is a man? Nope.

The only people who can give birth are women
it is the MOST gendered thing you can do
language means something - women, mothers, breastfeeding

A transman is a woman
if they’re so horrified by their female body then why are they giving birth?

"Trans men and trans masculine people face a number of barriers to healthcare..." which they have erected themselves.

Alex Sobel has form for spouting nonsense

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few ..... 99.9% 0f pregnancies are women...the minuscule amount of Trans identifying women who also fall pregnant, or need maternity services, have no right to dictate what we're called or referred too.

I thought I recognised the name. You've saved me some googling - thanks.

Actually I should have said 100% of pregnancies are women....0.01% don't identify as female.

sobel is a dickhead with form for anti women dickery

100%!!

Sorry, just seen this.
Only women, however they identify, agreed 👍.

Sobel needs to look across the pond and realise that tying his ambitions to 'TQIA' is not the fast track he thought it was going to be.

Topically it seems the Scottish government are going to argue that men can get pregnant in front of the Supreme Court according to their submission which we have got access to finally.

It's such a con.
Why would we do that Mr Sobral?!
99.6% of people are being upset, offended, frightened and made very angry by these changes and having rights being removed (or not realising this) for.... you reckon a grand 00.2% of the population?!
Right.
Are you sure you are not doing this on behalf of the other 00.2%?

Or is it 0.04%?!

How nice he thinks he can speak for women and girls.

What male arrogance, he certainly hasn't missed out on that socialisation

how mind blowingly thick do you have to be to believe this fucking nonsense? I often wonder how the likes of Sobel, Whittome, Osbourne et al make it out of the house every day, or tie their shoelaces, or, well, anything at all really.

I am surprised he went back to these 2017 talking points. What an absolute plank of a man.

I can't stand him.

I saw the title and guess that it would be Sobel.

100% of pregnancies are women.

He’s also written to Wes Streeting demanding that puberty blockers be given to GNC kids. He’s a fucking danger

Read the heading and thought someone was saying lets gets rid of this gender nonsense and talk about sex. Should have realised Labour = nonsense.

I think getting rid of gendered terminology is a good idea. No more cervix havers, menstruators, pregnant people nonsense that the genderists so adore and back to sex based language such as woman and mother.

Not what you mean Alex? Well that's what gender does so ditch it and go back to sex based which has led to no confusion for thousands of years. Gender based language is confusing and dehumanising, sex based is clear and treats women as people

He's a big supporter of Mermaids, as I recall.

Mermaids, fantasy creatures, seem to be apt. I don't think I can expound further safely.
