The British Medical Association has said pregnant women should not be called "expectant mothers" as it could offend transgender people.

Instead, they should call them "pregnant people" so as not to upset intersex and transgender men, the union has said.

It is important for you Freepers to avoid offence ... and treat others with dignity and as equal members of an integrated community ...
