The government has said the term “pregnant woman” should not be used in a UN treaty because it “excludes” transgender people.
Feminists reacted with outrage to what they said was the latest example of “making women unmentionable” in the name of transgender equality.
The statement comes in Britain’s official submission on proposed amendments to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which the UK has been a signatory since 1976. The UN treaty says a “pregnant woman” must be protected, including not being subject to the death penalty.
Yet in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office submission, Britain opposes the term “pregnant woman” because it may “exclude transgender people who have given birth”. The suggested term is “pregnant people”.

When Bruce Jenner gets knocked up, I’ll take these psychos seriously.
Robespierre just guillotined Danton. The revolution is killing its own.
It sounds like feminists are starting to realize how much homosexual males hate women.
Feminism is based on hatred of straight men.
It was simply a matter of time before they began to eat their dead alive.
First, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights sounds like another UN panel comprised of third-world dictators and other vermin, whose role is to tap into the treasury of advanced western democracies.
Second, God has voted. Women get pregnant. Period.
God said so to Adam and Eve in the brginning. No amount of steroids and surgery that a woman could undergo would change her from XX to XY.
Agree 1,000%
In addition, the "butches" hate men so much...yet try so hard to act like a man. They lack the intellect and common sense to grasp their hypocrisy.

An inordinate number of people can’t deal with reality.
It took me several seconds of deep meditation to unravel the "logic" of this one. I always get tripped up on the transgender lingo.
The thing here is that a "transgender man" in the language of non-brain-damaged people means a confused woman. When she gets knocked up (don't ask me how) they can't bring themselves to say "she's pregnant" because "he" is a man, ergo the dilemma.
Feminists reacted with outrage to what they said was the latest example of “making women unmentionable” in the name of transgender equality.
This is where it begins to get fun. By eliminating the noun "woman" the government is now offending cis-gender female feminists (you're on your own-try to keep up) who by protesting are de-legitimizing the transgender crowd.
Oh, they'll settle their argument by the weekend but they've already revealed the vacuity of their ideology.
The world’s globalists are not Christian in any true meaning but rather materialist monists. While Christianity posits two created sexes, from ancient days monism meant in practice, androgyny as the sexual ideal.
Conservatives are supposed to be “anti-science”, at least according to the leftist mantra. How could we possibly top this nonsense?
Laws against nature are automatically invalid.
It's like Vegans eating fake meat.
It is weird, every lesbian couple I’ve been aware of has a butch one and a fem one, with polarized dynamics.
Also weird is how gay men present themselves as a grotesque mockery of women.
Overall percentage here in the US, in the world? not even on the scale yet they use this to destroy everything. WHAT WOULD YOU CALL THIS TACTIC?
