In Great Britain, a group of hospitals has instructed midwives in their maternity departments to use different terms when treating transgender patients in order to be more “gender-inclusive,” substituting “chestfeeding” for “breastfeeding” and replacing “breastmilk” with ““human milk” or “breast/chestmilk” or “milk from the feeding mother or parent.”
“Terms like ‘chestfeeding’ and ‘human milk’ are being introduced at an NHS trust in a bid to boost inclusivity,” Bristol Live reports. “Staff have been asked to use gender-neutral language alongside – not instead of – traditional terms to ensure that all groups are represented.”
LBC reported of Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust:
The hospital will become the first in the UK to introduce an official gender-inclusive language policy for its maternity services department, which will be rebranded as “perinatal services.” Terms such as “woman” and “father” will also be superseded by “woman or person” and “parent,” “co-parent,” or “second biological parent” respectively.
Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust explains in its announcement of the changes:
We are on a journey towards gender inclusive care for everybody during pregnancy, birth and afterwards. This journey is led by members of the trans and non-binary community. We are at the beginning of this process, which will continue over the next few years.
Midwives believe pregnancy and birth are normal, healthy parts of life. The midwife’s role is to support a pregnant person’s journey through each stage of pregnancy, birth, and the early days with their new baby. Midwives believe that you know what is best for you and your baby, and will work together with you to ensure your experience of pregnancy and birth is safe and positive.
In a portion titled, “Gender Inclusive Language in Perinatal Services: Mission Statement and Rationale,” the trust notes:
It is within our power as midwives, as obstetricians, and as an organisation to make continual improvements to our services, practices and policies towards the fulfilment of human rights. … This is known as ‘progressive realisation’ and is congruent with NHS guidance which advocates services taking additional steps in order to overcome, and reverse, the effects of previous exclusion or marginalisation on trans and non-binary people. The result is perinatal services that are available, accessible and acceptable to the trans and non-binary community, fulfilling our professional, statutory and ethical responsibility to address health inequalities in marginalised populations. …
For us, a gender-additive approach means using gender-neutral language alongside the language of womanhood, in order to ensure that everyone is represented and included. … It is important to note that the term “women” encompasses both cis and trans women. Professionals should be aware that co-parents could have any gender identity, and could also be cis, trans, non-binary, and/or intersex. … Unless conversation is focused on gender identity with relation to cis, trans or non- binary status, it is not necessary to include the adjectives “cis” or “trans” before the words “woman,” “man,” or “person.”
On a poster titled “Gender Inclusive Perinatal Care,” Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust asks, “What can you do to support trans & non-binary parents?” The poster answers, “Ask ALL service users about their pronouns & offer pronoun stickers to trans & non-binary people,” “offer your own pronouns when introducing yourself,” “get comfortable with ‘They, them, theirs’ pronouns,” “use inclusive language when talking to, or about, groups of people,” “make sure signs and leaflets are gender-inclusive.”
Some baby would go hungry “chest feeding” off a man. That would be abuse.
There are times when I think we need a stronger pandemic....to give people something to really worry about. Because clearly, these folks have plenty of time on their hands.
And the stupidity gets deeper and deeper and deeper.
SHHHHHHH! You might enrage the mentally ill!................
I live near Nippletop Mountain, NY.
We want to change it to Chest Point Peak just for spite.
When is this insanity going to stop? Who will be the first well-known physician or psychologist to stand up and shout, “The emperor has no clothes”?
How long are women going to put up with this crap? They are the ones being canceled by all of this.
Not Mount TaTa?...................
This kind of crap will continue until society at large rises up with massive protests and pushback. The vermin get away with it precisely because they don’t get that kind of pushback.
Well, this is from Great Britain, so you could say Western Civilization is going down the toilet in general.
Of all the people in the world who should know better than to promulgate this garbage, it would be doctors and nurses. But hey, ignore all your medical training and your study of human anatomy and use bogus descriptions to keep 0.000001% of the human population happy.
Even dumber, biological males have breasts. For example, former US Senator Edward Brooke of Massachusetts got breast cancer
Great Britain has been showing severe mental disease over the past decade or so. First, they hasten to welcome their muzzlime criminal invaders and allow them to prey on their children with impunity. Now they destroy their entire language in order to pander to a tiny minority of deviants. The libtard rot in their entire government is appallingly apparent.
Unless there has been a drastic change in biology, females give birth and males don’t. While men can be induced to lactate if they are given hormones, the idea of men breastfeeding is kind of sickening, actually.
How do we fight this crusade against basic biology?
Nothing like Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust making public declarations that their medical staff is not to be trusted for diagnoses and prognoses.
Um, don’t all humans have breasts and can get breast cancer?
Obviously, this is targeted to women who think they are men getting pregnant and having babies. Why the disdain for breasts if you are a fake man?
Unlike mastectomies, chestectomies are always fatal.
How transgenderism undermines women’s rights.
It takes an incredible level of denial to give birth and still deny you’re a woman.
