The "Equality Institute" Says We Shouldn't Use The Word "Pregnant Women" Anymore
RedState Watcher ^ | Oct. 9, 2018

This is why the left will keep on losing. The "Equality Institute" Twitter page says we need to be more inclusive and stop using the term "pregnant women" and use "pregnant people" instead because men can get pregnant too.

"People of all genders can fall pregnant, because people of all genders can have the reproductive organs to do so. Consider all people - including trans & non-binary folk - & ensure that your language is inclusive of everyone," says the group.

So aside from the obvious problem with this, there's another, more subtle problem: The group claims people "fall" pregnant? What is this? It's not something you accidentally trip and fall into. You BECOME pregnant, for obvious reasons.

People “fall” pregnant? I guess that explains all the September births/ January pregnancies - people falling on ice and snow.

In Australia when a woman says she’s knocked up it means she’s tired. Really tired.

Perhaps people of all genders can fall pregnant, but only one sex can become pregnant.

I thought the term ‘fall pregnant’ was a British thing.
I know this kind of censorship is common in Britain and becoming more common here.

I guess “bun in the oven” is passé”.

Not everyone has an “oven”.

You can't change reality by changing the language.

And in England, “knocked up” can mean you pounded on someone’s door and got them out of bed during the night. “My husband couldn’t drive me to the airport, so I knocked up my brother.”

Contrary to observed and verified scientific fact. If a person is pregnant, she is a woman. If a person is a man, he is never pregnant.
Proven.
Those who disagree are not able to accept reality.

Are these the people who invented “front hole” and “front pole”? Or are they other wingnuts?
