Joe Biden now even has “woke” language being slipped into his budget.

As we previously reported, when talking about funding for programs, Joe Biden’s budget removed “mothers” and replaced the term with “birthing people.”

This is woke, anti-science nonsense.

Biden’s Director of Office of Management and Budget Shalanda Young was then questioned on why the language had been changed by House Budget Committee Ranking Member, Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO).

“There are certain people who do not have gender identities that apply to female or male and so we think our language needs to be more inclusive in how we deal with complex issues,” Young replied.

Now Rep. James Lankford (R-OK) asked HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra if he could explain this. What was funny about it was you could tell that Becerra was doing his best to respond but that he really wasn’t on board with it and didn’t understand it any better than anyone else did. He seemed to be searching for an answer as Rep. Lankford pressed him, asking if this was about offending people, doesn’t he wonder if calling mothers “birthing people” isn’t offensive to mothers?

Becerra ultimately settles on, “We’re trying to be precise in the language that’s used.” I have to hand it to him he did his best. But this is the idiocy that the Biden team is forcing their officials to push.

Why are you eliminating the term mother that has been used for thousands of years? You’re literally making it less precise when you use terms that are not accepted and less scientifically accurate when you pretend people other than mothers can get pregnant. That’s the way “the science” works.

But as Lankford points out, if the point is not to be offensive to someone, this kind of language is disrespectful and dehumanizing to women, to simply call mothers “birthing people,” as though all this was simply a physical function. It’s like another “woke” term being propagated, calling women “menstruators.” These terms are reducing women and mothers to “functions.” Plus, who are you including when you use these terms while disrespecting mothers and women? You are not somehow being more inclusive of trans people or whoever this is supposed to be geared toward. People who are biologically male still cannot give birth, you don’t make them able to give birth by changing the language. It’s an exclusively female function.

My colleague Kira Davis did a great piece on how mothers deserve the respect that they have earned, with all the things that go into being a woman and a mother.

But Democrats don’t seem to care about what the millions of mothers and women they are disrespecting might think of all this.

"WE ARE ALL BIRTHING PEOPLE"

[ifinnegan]

But it uses “maternal” at least twice in the same sentence.

Next May, Biden might as well rename Mother’s Day to Birthing People Day. Hallmark will have to rename all their cards now.

LOL!

One of the funniest things about RadLib-Speak is that its proponents don’t understand language and etymology.

Just when I thought my contempt for these pieces of human garbage couldn’t reach any deeper, I have now found a new nadir.

[RAldrich]

What about Mary, Mother of God? Will all the Bibles, hymns, sacred songs be rewritten?

[cockroach_magoo]

I think I’ll start calling women “aborting people.” This is logically equivalent to “birthing people.”

[HotHunt]

".... Joe Biden now even has 'woke' language being slipped into his budget...."

Enough with the euphemisms. This so-called woke language is nothing more than political correctness getting worse.

It is just more cultural Marxism taken to the extreme by the democRATS.

Birthing person, my ass. She is a MOTHER.

[cgbg]

The leftists want to use language to treat people as things to be manipulated—and of course destroyed as necessary.

“Just when I thought my contempt for these pieces of human garbage couldn’t reach any deeper, I have now found a new nadir.”

Can’t wait to see what’s in store for us next week, can ya.

Can there be a “step birthing person”, evil or not?

If a woman marries a man with children from a previous marriage, does she become a “step birthing person” even if she is infertile and can’t give birth herself?

What would they call a woman who can’t give birth but adopts children? Is she an “adoptive birthing person” even if she can’t give birth?

[HotHunt]

Exactly. This is from their worn-out playbook and Alinsky's Rules For Radicals.

Divide people into groups based on gender, race, sexual orientation or whatever works at the time.

Most recently, they have divided people in the covid pandemic as mask wearers versus non-mask wearers.

Now with the vaccines, you're good to go if you get vaccinated but you are considered an outcast or a pariah if you haven't gotten the jab.

Then they go about pitting one group against another.

It's what the democRATS do.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Lankford was a real gentlemen when questioning Becerra. He’s a good, kind, pleasant Republican not going to rock the boat much.

Where the hell was the FULL THROATED and VIOLENT objection to this ridiculous re-casting of the English Language in full Orwell fashion?

I HATE watching these DC weasels being so polite to each other. Lankford should have ripped Becerra a new asshole.

[leaning conservative]

How embarrassing for our country.

[genghis]

When can we start shooting them in the head?

[Noumenon]

I feel like the British officer at the end of The Bridge on the River Qwai. "Madness. Madness..."

[pepsionice]

This all begs the question....who are the non-birthing people? And why are they non-birthing?

[caww]

So if they’re calling mothers - Birthing people.....what are they calling fathers?

[caww]

“There are certain people who do not have gender identities that apply to female or male and so we think our language needs to be more inclusive in how we deal with complex issues,”...thus Birthing People.

Biden’s Director of Office of Management and Budget 'Shalanda Young'....needs to try and milk a bull and see if that will kick some sense in her feeble brain on gender issues.

Tired of seeing idots in places of power who are more brain deprived than Biden!
