Call expectant mothers ‘pregnant people’ government suggests.
Expectant mothers should be called “pregnant people”, the Government has suggested in a submission to amend a UN treaty.
The proposed amendment is to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which the UK has been a signatory of since 1976.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s submission suggests the term “pregnant people” to avoid excluding “transgender people who have given birth”, The Sunday Times reported.
An FCO spokesman said: “The UK does not object to the use of the term ‘pregnant woman’. We strongly support the right to life of pregnant women, and we have requested that the Human Rights Committee does not exclude pregnant transgender people from that right to life.
This is Great Britain in 2018.
Now consider that “The life of Brian” was made a way back in 1979 when a man believing that “he” can become a “she” would be a candidate for psychiatric care.
Now it would seem to me that the only a “woman” that has all the required equipment for pregnancy and yet is claiming that “she” is a really a “man” has any possibility of being called a “pregnant transgender person”.
Here in Vermont we have person who was once a “man”, fathered children but who now lives “his” life as a ‘woman” and is running for Governor of the State of Vermont.
It is very strange times in which we live.
Oh, and by the way Monty Python is no longer “politically correct”.
