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…
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?
Conservatives are so fucking dumb
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.
Glad we’re focusing on the real issues….
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 what they are saying is that it’s perfectly fine to address every man as “her, she” incorrectly, every time. Perfect.
To conservatives, cultural war is a real issue. It’s not like they care about anything else, as far as their concerned they’re going to heaven one way or another. Why plan for today when you can be happy about imaginary tomorrows.
If they don’t keep people fighting about who can marry who or who should have control over medical decisions, people might start fighting about things that will threaten their wealth and power.
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?
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.
The host of the fetus would be more appropriate as they aren’t a mother until birth.
host
I don’t even like kids, but what a gross thing to be called. Unless it’s a bouncing baby cordyceps, I’m going to stick with expectant mother.
Logically, you are absolving men of fatherhood for a year? Or what are we calling them? Donor?
A fetus is not a kid.
Better not say “primigravida”, they’d completely lose it.

It is happening now, it has happened before, it will surely happen again.
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.
Excellent. The sooner this stupidity ends, the better. You’re not a “they.” You’re a man or a woman and if you struggle to accept your body then you should see a therapist.
Not one problem in your life is the result of a person you know (or even a person you don’t know) wanting to be referred to as ‘they.’
Not one.
Edit: LOL of course it was [email protected] - so I guess you do have some problem that someone else’s pronouns have caused for you?
Trans and nonbinary people have existed for as long as humanity has. Your perception of this “stupidity” as new is the result of people finally overcoming hundreds of years of religious programming; bigotry that has been passed down for generations as superstitious fear anyone presenting in an unfamiliar way, and people are now more willing to express themselves as they actually feel, rather than as they feel they must in order to protect themselves.
Here’s a short piece of a lecture by a Stanford professor explaining how wrong you are. https://youtu.be/8QScpDGqwsQ
Sure bro.
Ah, willful ignorance. Core tenet of conservative viewpoints in all their forms.
Lol, what?
your
clueless
Not really.
The real issue seems to be those who have problems with terms such as ‘pregnant woman.’
The real issue is people like you
Why?
Did you notice that you have no problem using the gender-neutral pronoun “you” in this comment?
It’s almost like this isn’t something you actually care about, but just see as something to justify irrational hatred of people. That’s kinda weird, lady.
I think the problem is those who have issues with the words ‘he and she.’
Bro this and that has literally nothing to do with each other. “They” has been used for when you don’t know the person’s gender since the 15th century.
How long has he and she been used when you do know the person’s gender?
Oh so you just want something to be angry about. Yeah go do that somewhere else.
Uhh, what?
Looks like the people who have problems with ‘he and she’ are the ones who want something to be angry about.
I’ve found America is pretty much the only nation where ideas like these have gotten hold.
The rest of the word recognizes it for what it is and just decides to steer clear.

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
