Don’t Say ‘Mothers’ – It Offends Transgender People, Doctors Told
Breitbart ^ | 01/29/2017 | Virginia Hale

Posted on 01/29/2017 1:02:13 PM PST by Silentgypsy

Doctors have been told to refer to expectant mothers as “pregnant people” so as not to offend transgender people, in official guidelines issued by the British Medical Association (BMA).

The controversial advice appears in a 14-page booklet on “inclusive language in the workplace” which also rules that the terms ‘biologically male’ and ‘biologically female’ are problematic, and instructs doctors to instead say that the individual was ‘assigned’ male or female at birth.

The union’s new guidelines come just weeks after it emerged that a British woman in the process of ‘transitioning’ gender put her operation on hold to have a baby, the Mail on Sunday reports.

I thought we were supposed to call them “women who have been punished with a child”.

Don’t say “imbecile” because it offends those doctors.

Ahhh, yes. The “special currency of feelings” that implements policy on weak minded people.

Putting into words what should be obvious to any thinking person:

Pregnant and transgender cats and dogs are still going to be offended even with this important change. And while it would seem obvious that we should be using "pregnant animals" in the future I'm afraid that won't work. This is due to the fact that increases in the current population of "animals" is in large part due to the introduction of robots and drones into our society. Many of these new and different "animal-like" creatures could be gaining both self awareness and the ability to reproduce in the near future given the rapid advances in technology. This outcome is nearly certain as long as we can maintain some level of control over Catastrophic Global Warming (CGW but sometimes referred to as Cagwa).

So I suggest we just move to "Pregnant Things" as the replacement for "Pregnant Mothers". Best to be prepared for the future.

;) ;)

“Does this idiocy ever end?”

NO!!! NEVER!!!

With one exception, if our side defeats and CRUSHES them, and NEVER allows them to have credibility as an opposition.

Trump is trying to do that, but it’s certainly not easy, as even most Republicans (not FReeper news junkies, but more typical Republicans), still look at Democrats as the “Loyal Opposition”.

But NO!!! A “Loyal Opposition”, by definition, should be LOYAL - and that means committed to protecting the country. There should not be ANY DEBATE about issues like border security, election security, a non-activist court system, the need for a strong military, and for police that are not subjected to political persecution.

Now if the left would support us on those issues, because we’re right, then they are welcome to oppose us on other issues, such as abortion, drug policy, school policy, gay rights, etc...and I would consider them a “Loyal Opposition”...of course I still would oppose everything they stand for, but at least I knew that they respected the same values needed to keep this country from getting destroyed.

Right now, they appear to actually want this country destroyed, so we don’t owe them jack.

First, the transgender war on women. Then the transgender anger at the women’s march, for talking about vaginas. Now it’s the transgender war on MOTHERS. And all this in the name of CELEBRATING diversity. I don’t see an celebrations. If you ask me, it’s nothing more than gender appropriation. I just invented the term.

I guess the dictionary, medical journals/manuals, and scientific definitions are all taboo now - welcome to the Stone Age Rising.

Political correctness. Now I understand why the Coneheads left their home planet. It was overtaken by political correctness. No mothers. No fathers.

Only parental units.

When liberals base morality on feelings, the problem arises as to WHOSE feelings win when two sides are equally upset.
That is how you get fights over the victimhood hierarchy, usually based on who has the greatest historical claim of oppression or the smallest minority.

These transgendered have made their choice. They should know the world of natural procreation between a man and a woman. Women who give birth are called mothers. If these transgenders are offended by that term, they should consider how their unnatural choices have affected their thinking.

These Mothers is crazy. You can tell by their clothes. One guy wears beads and they all smell bad. We were gonna get them for a dance after the basketball game but my best pal warned me you can never tell how many will show up…sometimes the guy in the fur coat doesn’t show up and sometimes he does show up only he brings a big bunch of crazy people with him and they dance all over the place. None of the kids at my school like these Mothers…especially since my teacher told us what the words to their songs meant.

Sincerely forever,

I have sympathy for people who have genuine sexual identity problems. That must be horrible.

However, I have nothing but contempt for politically correct leftists who act as cheerleaders for mental illness. It is evil to lead sick people to suicide's doorstep.
