This shit is getting fucking ridiculous:

BMA warns against using 'expectant mothers' for pregnant women as it 'may offend intersex men'

Quote:
Pregnant women should not be called “expectant mothers” over fears it could upset transgender people, it was claimed.

The British Medical Association has urged for them to be known as "pregnant people" so it can include intersex or transgender men.

The advice was published in a BMA internal leaflet entitled “A guide to effective communication: inclusive language in the workplace”.

It suggests “the elderly” should be referred to as “older people”, “disabled lifts” as “accessible lifts” and someone who is "biologically male or female" known as "assigned male or female".
What a warped world we live in. The lunatics are running the asylum.
