NHS doctors have been told not to call pregnant women ‘expectant mothers’ because it might offend transgender people, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. The astonishing warning comes in official guidelines issued by the British Medical Association to its 160,000 members, which says mothers-to-be should be referred to as ‘pregnant people’ instead.
The controversial advice to doctors in hospitals and general practice comes just weeks after it emerged that a Briton who was born a girl but is changing to a man put his operation on hold to have a baby. Four-months pregnant Hayden Cross, 20, is legally male and has had hormone treatment but not sex-change surgery.
There are no other known cases of a transitioning person becoming pregnant in the UK, but official figures show 775,000 women give birth in Britain every year.
Despite this, the BMA insists doctors should drop the word ‘mother’ when referring to pregnancy to avoid offending transgender people and to ‘celebrate diversity’.
The contentious call is made in a 14-page booklet called A Guide To Effective Communication: Inclusive Language In The Workplace.

Lets just call them incubators!
anti-breeder idiots
End their War on Science/Biology.
Nonsense! They want to avoid the moniker “Expectant Mother” in order to promote abortion.
Otherwise, these nincompoops would have to quit referring to the women who birthed them as “Mother” just in case one of these women decided to change gender? Absolute nonsense!!
Lately, I’m constantly in a state of thinking I’ve heard everything. And then, liberals come up with something more asinine than the last thing.
Meanwhile, democrats remain stumped as to why so many Americans voted for Trump.
So they want to celebrate diversity, but they can’t bring themselves to celebrate Motherhood?
The evil Marxists are destroying Language again-—to eliminate the concept of mother and father-—they have been doing it since the pederasts in the 1800s developed the words “homosexual” and “gender theory” so they could destroy Christianity and collapse Western Civilization. They need dumb ignorant socialized minds, people incapable of critical thinging. Just irrational group-non-thinkers. Emotions and base urges will control them for life. No Reason (maturity).
They have to train little boys and girls that they are interchangeable (radical egalitarianism) so they can flip 2000 years of ethics where there is no Natural Family unit which will collapse civilization and create tribal, serf group-thinkers incapable of free will and individualism. Children who have no concept of the Laws of Nature (science/truth/ God) since they can’t even know, if they are a boy or a girl at age 2. No logic or reason.
Eliminate Words and you eliminate concepts. The dumbed down curricula destroyed the Wisdom in children by blurring Good and Evil and actually elevating evil to “good”-—like sodomy and baby-killing and homosexuality. Young adults are so stupid now they don’t even know who John Locke, Adam Smith or James Madison were.
We need to get the Marxist curricula and literature OUT of the skools.

An association of predators.
Making science moot, one lie at a time.
Let’s not!
If Orwell was around he would be having a field day writing about this crap.
Call them "parental units."
It’s stuff like this that makes me glad I have a subscription to The Onion!
Have to get rid of the word "Mrs."
Can't call her a "mother."
Don't know for sure what gender is inhabiting the young one's body.
No more using the word "proud" cuz it might offend the gays.
And, the National Organization of Women has the word "now" copyrighted.
The insanity continues unabated
So....just checkin’ here........are the words ‘mother’ and ‘effer’ no longer to be used in conjunction? I use those two quite a bit.
Coming to the US soon.
“Don’t call pregnant patients ‘mothers.
Time for the Brit men to start dragging the bureaucrat Nazis into the streets.
Another reason:
Liberals have life way too easy because they have been coddled by parents and the nanny state. This leaves them plenty of time to dream up stupidity like this.
Liberals are all about me, me, me and in need of constant attention. This gives them plenty of incentive to dream up stupidity like this.
Liberals are lacking in self-esteem, due to few accomplishments and having been raised with participation trophies for everything. This gives them the emotional need to drag others down and try to destroy thing in an effort to make themselves feel better. This gives them emotional motivation to dream up stupidity like this.
