Top NYC health official sparks outrage after she refers to whites as 'birthing people' but calls pregnant blacks and Hispanics 'mothers' in tweet

New York City's top health official sparked outrage for a series of tweets where she referred to whites as 'birthing people' and blacks and Hispanics as 'mothers'

On March 23 Dr. Michelle Morse, the first medical officer at the NYC Department of Health tweeted about the expansion of a new citywide 'birth equity' initiative.

In her tweets Morse, who also works as the department's deputy commissioner for the Center for Health Equity and Community Wellness, refers to one group of moms by the woke term 'birthing people' and black and Hispanics as 'mothers'

'The urgency of this moment is clear. Mortality rates of birthing people are too high, and babies born to Black and Puerto Rican mothers in this city are three times more likely to die in their first year of life than babies born to non-Hispanic White birthing people,' she wrote in a tweet.

The tweets caused an uproar and Morse was accused of being divisive and separating mothers due to their race, with white mothers falling into the 'birthing people' category.

'White Mothers are called 'birthing people' and black and Puerto Rican Mothers are called Mothers? Your license to practice medicine should be revoked,' one person angrily tweeted.

Someone else tweeted: 'Wokeness poisons everything,' while another person tweeted: 'If you're wondering why trust in the medical profession is rapidly eroding, this tweet is a great place to start'

While another person tweeted: 'Wait, I'm confused - is it 'birthing people' or 'mothers'? You use both here. Are some mothers also birthing people, but not all birthing people are mothers? How does this work, exactly? Please help me learn the difference.'

A DOH spokesman told the New York Post called Morse's tweet an 'oversight' and said 'we apologize for inadvertently gendering Black and Puerto Rican birthing people.'

Well... It seems to me whites have the luxury of embracing the tranfa&&otry in comfort. Then again there are a lot of tranny blacks running around. Regardless. It is all BS.

Yea but, they referred to whites as birthing people. And Hispanics and blacks as mothers.

So, yea while the birthing people part is weird, this racist female is dehumanizing /depersonalizing white mothers.

Civil rights and other laws were passed to protect minorities. Many whites are going to be suprised to find out that these laws won’t protect whites once they are the minority.

And that’s why they want guns taken so badly. The dehumanization has been going on for decades, and it’s accelerating.

Shouldn’t blacks be offended because they are being called mothers forcing gender on them which is racist

More specifically, white women are making this demand. These white women are a pitiful lot.

killing of Caucasians is now a good thing in NY.

the nurses and docs are already trained in genocide,
as anyone against it is gone or murdered.

Those laws (affirmative action, set-asides, etc.) were supposed to be temporary. Only for a generation or two. Just until we achieved equality.

But government benefits, whether domestic or foreign aid, never end. The recipient begins by asking for a bit of temporary help. But the demands, and grievances, only increase as the years go by.

Reparations never end.
