Gender Agenda!!

I sometimes despair of the idiots in charge of the BMA.

Their latest crazy order is to contact their 160,000 members, doctors in hospitals and general practitioners, informing them that mothers-to-be are no longer to be referred to as "Mothers" but in future to be referred to as "pregnant people".

This ridiculous, insulting order has been put forward because they fear transgener people may be offended by the word "mother" and we should be celebrating diversity!!

Is the world going ruddy mad?

99% of those in the country giving birth are women, ladies, female.
How insulting, how degrading to expectant mothers!

Your views please.

Re: Gender Agenda!!

I think there are too many people sticking their oar in and saying what transgender or other groups want, some are not even in the groups they're claiming to represent.
I don't think transgender folk would worry about this. They have far more sensitive issues to deal with, and they all have mothers!

Absolutely, our trans lady security guard just wants to be called a lady, woman, and by her chosen name. She has remained dad to her children, doesn't see any problem with that and I'm pretty sure would be happy to be called mum if she had more kids but I don't think her surgery is so complete she will ever have that choice.
