Glad we’re focusing on the real issues….
So what they are saying is that it’s perfectly fine to address every man as “her, she” incorrectly, every time. Perfect.
NASA changed its nomenclature to say human space flight (as opposed to just “manned” space flight) in the 90’s, you transphobic Christian nationalist.
blame r/athiesm for stifling proper religious education /s
So… The Party of “small government” once again banning using language that’s inclusive of all people. Disgusting…
Reminds me of when North Carolinas own oceanic and atmospheric agency published a study on the negative effects climate change will have on their coastal towns, and what they need to do in response to that.
So their state government responded by banning the use of terms like climate change.
So instead of using they like a normal person would, they have to use something like s/he throughout entire documents? How clunky and ugly that must be.
What were they thinking?
Oh shit, I just used the gender-neutral pronoun “they.”
By “they,” I believe you mean “an unknown number of men and women.”
In this case yes, but “they” can also be all men, all women, or a single person of unknown gender.
For example: somebody called. What did they say?
Rather than ‘pregnant people’ or ‘pregnant person,’ use ‘pregnant women’ or ‘pregnant mom.’
And if she’s a child? And is she a mom while still pregnant?
Better not say “primigravida”, they’d completely lose it.
And is she a mom while still pregnant?
I would say so, yeah. “The mother of the fetus” sounds fine. “Mother’s womb.” It’s not like men aren’t the father until it’s born.
Excepting the questionable case of surrogacy, the term “pregnant mom” feels wrong to me because it’s redundant.
Conservatives are so fucking dumb

Says the person that whose opinions bother everyone here.
What opinions, exactly?
Doesn’t bother me
This bullshit again. Just because it doesn’t affect you directly doesn’t mean it’s not the right thing to do! I’ll never have kids but I support maternity/paternity leave. I’m not Muslim but I want them to not be harassed in public. I don’t have a vagina but think menstrual items should be universally available.
Yeah, I never said it was right or wrong.
Just that it didn’t affect me.
fteeze peach
It costs people nothing to use someones’ preferred pronouns and yet here we are.
Bureaucratically maybe
They do this to be cruel
They’re such big meanies 😖
someone
…
STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM! YOU HAVE VIOLATED THE LAW WITH YOUR GENDER-VAGUE WORD.
What if they think men and women should be referred to by different pronouns?
I think you mean “what if the men and women think men and women should be referred to by different pronouns”. Can’t use “they” any more, remember.
But everyone is free to think whatever they want, so long as they don’t go around telling other people how to live their lives when it’s not hurting anyone.
No, you can still use they when referring to multiple people or those of unknown sex.
Might want to brush up on your English if this is news to you.
They is grammatically correct for a single person so I’m not even kind of sure what you mean here
I never said it was incorrect. The problem is forcing people to use ‘they’ when they’d rather use he or she.
The poster above me here is absolutely right, she shouldn’t be forced to use the wrong pronouns. It might make her uncomfortable.
She sounds like a fuckin idiot if you ask me.
Yeah, nah. I grew out of that phase in elementary school.
You can call me whatever you want, I’m not some child who lets it affect me.
“Am I so out of touch? No, it’s the people who fail to fit into my narrow, regressive worldview who are wrong.”
the people
I dunno, man. That’s gender-vague enough to be a problem here.

So this has nothing to do with the word they. This is TREF nonsense that by using words like pregnant person, the “patriarchy” is erasing women.
Not only that, but she’s sneaking in some Fetal Personhood stuff by saying that “pregnant mom” is acceptable.
“Pregnant Person” specifically accounts for pregnant transMEN not Transwomen.
