The Evergreen Health Medical Center in Kirkland may change the name of its Family Maternity Center. Some staff claim “maternity” is not gender-inclusive enough for “birthing people” who do not identify as women.
According to a memo obtained by the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH, some claim the Family Maternity Center “does not emanate inclusivity.” They argue that “all types of people give birth.” Consequently, the staff at the center are engaged in meetings to come up with a new, more inclusive name.
The memo announcing the name change idea was sent by four EvergreenHealth leaders. They explained that staff members and patients reached out with concern that the Family Maternity Center was too centered on women. This needed to change.
“It has come to Leadership’s attention from both staff and patients that our name, Family Maternity Center, does not emanate inclusivity. All types of people give birth,” the memo claims. “People who identify as women give birth. People who identify outside the gender binary give birth. People with non-traditional family structures give birth. Not all our birthing patients identify as moms or with maternity care. The healthcare system in general and reproductive health in particular have a long way to go to become truly inclusive of all this variety. How exciting that Evergreen’s core vision is to create an inclusive community health system!”
The meeting featured one of the memo’s authors, RN Jacquiline Blanco, taking a leading role. She called the meeting a “brave face conversation,” which she said is the new term for “safe space.”
According to Blanco’s LinkedIn profile, her goal is to “empower womxn, girls, birthing persons, female-identifying and non-binary folks through the provision of holistic and compassionate women’s healthcare.” It came as little shock when she pushed for the name change.
“I also want to just establish that I really strongly believe changing a name to gender-inclusive language really does affirm our commitment to the care of the whole family and inclusive language can really support practices of awareness to the needs of all families, which are extremely varied,” Blanco said.
One staff member claimed more than just women give birth.
“I think a suggestion can be Evergreen Family Birth Center. I do have a hard time with the maternity name as the Family Maternity Center. And again, not taking away from people who feel that women only have this magical superpower of giving birth. I feel that all types of people have this superpower. And I don’t think that these people, who are also referred to as ‘birthing people,’ should feel less than.”
“These people are insane”
Well, yeah. But it’s also a reset, and not the “great reset”. The public is stupid, self absorbed and indoctrinated. When they finally manage to trash the country completely, life will get so hard that people will return to rationality.
Tough times make tough men.
Tough men make easy times.
Easy times make weak men.
Weak men make tough times. <— we are here
Which means anyone who disagrees is automatically labeled a bigot. It's not the bravest of conversations.
Something in the water? Disease like ‘mad cow’? Microwaves from space? I just hope whatever is driving these people insane isn’t contagious!
My question is, how come no one there has the guts to stand up and call bullsh&t on this??? Land of the Free and Home of the Brave, my a$$!
All types of pregnant women give birth.
these people are (fill in the blank), if we can’t say that women give birth, that only women give birth, that only women are physically capable of becoming pregnant.
I notice recently liberals say “pregnant people” rather than “pregnant women” for this reason. There is so much fear of offending the sensibilities of some very rare “transwhatever” who identifies as a man, but is pregnant.
Unbelievable world we live in nowadays.

He “ain’t a woman!” Get over this liberal/moronic fairy tale.
Show me a tranny who has EVER actually, physically given birth and then get back to me. This stuff is just nonsense. They never give up.
This is how the SC nominee feels about gender. If she’s appointed, gender neutrality could become the law of the land.
Brave was a derogatory term for indigenous peoples who we identified as male.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
What’s that old Greek saying about the Gods driving people insane before destroying them? The left seems to be trying that approach to destroy the entire society.
Washington state, I think, which would explain everything.
Send those people complaining to the correct ward then. Instead of Maternity, send them to the Psych ward where they belong.
This is absolute insanity, but I’d expect nothing less from the loony Left. What REALLY bothers me are the mushy middle-ground folks who go along with this nonsense because they want to be “inclusive”, etc. It takes no courage to be for everything; it does, however, take immense courage (in this day and age) to stand up for what’s moral and right.
FAMILY birth center? Single Moms won’t accept that!
Nothing but fkn retards...
Just to give you an idea how numb we become to Ultra-liberal Newsspeak:
“Pregnancy Termination Center” would be perfectly accurate, yet horrifying to any mother. I mean, childbirth IS the most common way pregnancies are terminated.
are “REAL” women pushing this?
kinda like self-abuse
That Babylon Bee sure publishes some funny stuff. What? it’s not?
