Men would never put up with being on the MAGA hit list.

Women are becoming non men.

I don't like it. I am not giving up the word woman without a fight.

many abortion activists, and this article in the OP, are increasingly using inclusive language to acknowledge that.

I understand that some trans men get pregnant, give birth, and breastfeed. I fully support their rights. However, changing the entire terminology around mothers has been understandably unpopular.

It is relevant that women have less power, fewer rights, and are more at risk in many ways. We mothers value our role as mothers.

As another poster says, women aren't going to give this up without a fight. Better to preserve millions of years of terminology around mothers while respecting the rights of trans men to identify as they personally choose to do. There is no need to upset so many people. This is not a hill to die on.

1. Both women and trans people face discrimination.

2. My point is that the term "mother" has a deep meaning to many people, one that people will defend. It's best not to fuck with mothers. The outcome is unlikely to be worth it.

3. The right to be called mothers.

4. Every individual patient must be called what they request to be called. Anything less is medical malpractice. A trans man who is giving birth may or may not ask to be called a "person giving birth." Whatever their personal request, it must be respected. This right applies to other people giving birth. If they request to be called "mother" or "mom to be" or whatever, that individual's right must be respected.

5. The well-intentioned but in my opinion ill-advised policy that all people giving birth be referred to only as "persons giving birth" has upset a lot of people. That is my anecdotal observation. Again, I believe that this was a well intentioned policy. It began in academic and health care policy circles about a decade ago. It was intended to be inclusive, but the outcome was not good for trans rights, women's rights, or the rights of individual patients.

It is an example of well-intentioned academic policy that misses the mark.

Next up: why my Latina wife despises the term Latinx.

The war on reproductive rights is a war on women.

If you can get pregnant, you are a women, whatever you want to call yourself. This language bullshit drives me crazy.

Her body is also extremely immature in every way (see bone-structure X-rays of grown women juxtaposed with those of little girls) even if her ovaries popped out an egg. If this pregnancy is not terminated early, it could well cost her life. An attempt to continue to term will require a C-section due to the undeveloped nature of her bones, and again could well const both her life or future fertility.

Word games don’t amuse when what you hypothesize is a small female child who is the victim of a violent crime.

We've all heard the crude rhyming saying that describes exactly that.

And these pronatal, sexist, ignorant, buffoons who think all women should be home having and raising their babies don't seem to get that even the women willing to go along with their freakish movement need maternal, prenatal care in order to do it safely.

It happened to me in a Catholic Hosp in NC yrs ago. Early miscarriage - fetus dead - but I guess it’s a sin to remove it. Luckily- I decided to stay in hospital or I would have died - bleeding like a hose on full force. Suddenly- 20 nurses in my room, vit K shot on way down to operating room.

I just don’t get that states can’t remove a dead fetus- putting so many women’s lives in peril.

appears due to pregnancy.
