    Anyhow it seems now we refer to "pregnant people" and birthing individuals in maternity wards....

    Why is this? Because the world has gone insane.

    This is not a personal argument on which my character gets assessed.

    I am not offended by it, I am remarking and noting the saturation of subjective and distorted reality which is facilitated by language manipulations.

    it's awful isn't it when people outside your little progressive circle have the opportunity to comment on things. really shouldn't be allowed.

    I hope I didn't trigger anybody with that comment.

    "Some people are being unneccesarily thoughtful to people who are different to me in a document that most people will never have any reason to see! The sky is falling!The sky is falling!"

    God, it's getting so you can't even tell trans people what gender they're allowed to be anymore.

    BUCK-AWK!

    It absolutely should be allowed and I never said otherwise. I just responded. Because that is also allowed. See how that works?

    Also please continue to use "progressive" as a put down, that's always good for a laugh.
