Don't call pregnant patients 'mothers': Doctors are banned from using the word over fears it will up

FULL TITLE: Don't call pregnant patients 'mothers': Doctors are banned from using the word over fears it will upset those who are transgender

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.

...”This is OBSCENE and DISGUSTING!”...

Surely we must be close to the end of this delusion. Nations cannot go further into this dungeon of madness and still survive. Others, who understand what is real and what is involved in having humanity survive will take over. You cannot coddle and worship those who are extremely different from society at large and enter into their condition, which is not different than grand hallucinations. Mother Nature is not programmed to tolerate this.

I’d like to hear about how Hayden got pregnant. I mean it just didn’t happen by accident. You can’t get pregnant by sitting on a toilet seat.

> That truth is uncomfortable for someone delusional.

F$&@ their stupid word games. Call them trannies because that’s what they are. They don’t deserve any special treatment especially due to their lewd lifestyle, nasty personal habits, and the fact that they’re probably eyeballing your grandsons with thoughts that would make you resort to remove them from the face of the earth.

Probably by scientists trying to play god. No telling what types of mutations we will see with this. Mother Nature and God will not tolerate this much longer. It is pure evil and totally unnatural.

REG: Furthermore, it is the birthright of every man--

STAN: Or woman.

REG: Why don't you shut up about women, Stan. You're putting us off.

STAN: Women have a perfect right to play a part in our movement, Reg.

FRANCIS: Why are you always on about women, Stan?

STAN: I want to be one.

REG: What?

STAN: I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to call me 'Loretta'.

REG: What?!

LORETTA: It's my right as a man.

JUDITH: Well, why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?

LORETTA: I want to have babies.

REG: You want to have babies?!

LORETTA: It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.

REG: But... you can't have babies.

LORETTA: Don't you oppress me.

REG: I'm not oppressing you, Stan. You haven't got a womb! -- Where's the fetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!

LORETTA: [crying]

JUDITH: Here! I-- I've got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can't actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody's fault, not even the Romans', but that he can have the right to have babies.

FRANCIS: Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother. Sister. Sorry.

REG: What's the point?

FRANCIS: What?

REG: What's the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he can't have babies?!

FRANCIS: It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.

REG: Symbolic of his struggle against reality.

I don’t know that I want to be treated by medical “professionals” who so readily embrace junk science.

“Happy Formerly Pregnant Person’s Day” just doesn’t have the same ring as “Happy Mother’s Day”.

And the chrome is too soft?

The post-male females can always get a XX to spit in the tube for them ala the druggies who acquired drug-free urine for their testing.

Brave New World has arrived.

The old warning, however, still applies:

You can’t fool Mother Nature.

“The post-male females can always get a XX to spit in the tube for them ala the druggies who acquired drug-free urine for their testing.”

That is true. Would there be the will on the part of anyone to do random, surprise testing, as in sports? Probably not.

If a XY or XX claims to be the opposit, a test could solve the mystery.

It’s not about proving, it’s about “feeling,” don’t ya know? They’ll quote Descartes; “I think, therefore I am. I was “supposed” to be a female, I just know it.”

My reaction would be,

“Go off and have the thing at home by yourself. Want my help, Mum, then put a sock in it and spread your cankles.”
