some of us want to be a mother all of our lives and it’s demeaning to be called a pregnant person or a birth giver as if that’s our whole role. it makes us feel less important or less feminine and just bad about ourselves. i have wanted to be a mom my whole life but being called these things just kind of hurts. it’s like those of us who are women don’t get to be called a mom because other people who don’t identify as one don’t like it. gender affirming is important, even if you are afab woman

if someone is calling you these terms after you’ve specified you prefer other terms, that’s a problem with that person - these are supposed to be umbrella terms to refer to everyone who is capable of or currently in a pregnancy, and should only be used for individuals if you’re unsure of their gender or they have specified they want to be called that. i definitely agree that no one should be referred to using terms they don’t identify with!!

I mean, you can request someone use the pronouns you like. I still fail to see how that makes you feel bad, are you also not a person? Like the term pregnant person is not exclusionary.

Honestly too bad cry about it most people who can be pregnant are women. Don't even talk about trans men because they're infertile. Wokester

I’m so sorry, what about carrying and raising a baby is inherently feminine?

“Why do we need gender neutral terms when not everyone who gives birth is of the same gender identity???” That’s how u sound doofus

Well seeing as medicine is practiced on patients, and the medical community at large agrees that using terms affirming of patients gender identity is standard cared you need them. I get the vibe you don’t work in healthcare lol

Also calling it “birthing” makes you sound like sisterwife sally, ppl who actually work in the sciences call it labor & delivery or parturition
