If they said "and" it would make such a difference.
Women "and" birthing people.
Who could object to that?

Good thinking.

I always think of midwives and doulas being birthing people.

It’s inclusive. Trans men and non binary people can give birth too.

Is that because they have ovaries and a womb?

In which case their sex is female.

Not inclusive towards women but they have never really counted.

Biden’s government has substituted Mother with Birthing People in their Health budget document - what next will Father become Sperm Donor or seed planter? and what will happen to Mother’s Day. angry
