NYC's top doc apologizes to black and Hispanic 'birthing people' for calling them 'mothers'
The Post Millennial ^ | April 2nd, 2022 | Leonardo Briceno

Dr. Michelle Morse, the chief medical officer at New York City's Department of Health, has received sharp criticism for describing pregnant women differently along lines of race, choosing to call pregnant white women "birthing people" while referencing pregnant women of color as "mothers" in a late March tweet.

Since the city's top doctor's March 23 tweet, a DOH spokesman called Morse's post an "oversight" and said "we apologize for inadvertently gendering Black and Puerto Rican birthing people," according to the New York Post.

Morse had been sharing a number of tweets in which she advocated for increased allocation of goods and services to women of color. A disproportionate number of them, Morse argued, had died either during or shortly after childbirth.

Specifically, she pointed out that black and Puerto Rican mothers were suffering fatalities in birthing at a rate much higher than that of white women. To fix that, Morse suggested on Twitter increasing access to available doulas, a kind of specialized midwife, and other services to minority communities.

They are trying to erase womanhood. Amazing how the feminists are silent on this, with the exception of a very few, like J.K. Rowling...

and said "we apologize for inadvertently gendering Black and Puerto Rican birthing people," according to the New York Post.

I think you were pretty well gendered when you had another human being growing inside of you. The closest I can come is when I go to all an you can eat burrito buffet and feel like I'm having contractions later that night.
