"pregnant people"...so multiple people need to be involved? Can someone interpret for me.

[MNDude]

People?

[Leep]

So,we should kill it?

[EvilCapitalist]

Only XX chromosome women can become pregnant.

[Jim Noble]

A pregnant person who delivers a large baby is no longer pregnant - but is still a woman.

[John Milner]

Pregnant people, as opposed to pregnant dogs, horses, or alligators.

Yeah, pretty bizarre headline writing there.

[EEGator]

From personal experience, delivery via penile urethra is painful...

All the medical websites have climbed on the transgender stuff. Orwellian times we live in.

PS - Eating a high carb diet results in bigger infants. This is pretty well known among animals. Bigger is not better when it comes to size at birth.

Or like others have pointed out, WOMEN.

“Studies” are like giant farts. The quickly appear, make a large noise and then they’re gone. The leave a big stink for a while and that’s about all.

[READINABLUESTATE]

People? The war on women continues.

[MomwithHope]

Thanks for my first laugh of the day.

[Seruzawa]

Yeah. But we are paying for this useless navel gazing.

[Getready]

I was taught the connection with large babies and diabetes long time ago. Did the studies authors not know about the connection?
Pretty soon there will be a study implying that xy chromosome is associated with larger body frames and higher weight in “people”

[Bon of Babble]

LOL, on the “pregnant people” - claim only women can get pregnant and expect to be destroyed.

I delivered a 9 lb. baby (I am small) - and Thank God haven’t developed diabetes (”baby” is now 29 years old).

My neighbor was close to developing diabetes during her pregnancy, the doctor told her she would most likely develop it in 10 years - took three months before she got full-on diabetes, needing injections, etc. For her, it’s been 25 years and the diabetes is still raging - she visited her doctor a few months ago because she was feeling tired and the doctor told her her body was breaking down after 25 years of having diabetes. Now she has diabetes and depression.

Maybe she needs a different doctor? I was lucky...my baby was only 6lb 5oz

Perhaps your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.

[BitWielder1]

Translation: Fat women have larger babies and are at greater risk of diabetes.

[Allegra]

Stupid media. Indulging the fantasies of mentally imbalanced men who desire to be women and have babies by referencing “pregnant people.”

[sneakers]

My first thought as well.
