I couldn’t agree more. I’m currently pregnant and hate the notion that soon it might only be socially acceptable to refer to myself as a “birthing person”. I’ve already had some woke friends and prenatal teachers correct me when I say “pregnant woman” - telling me the correct term in 2021 is birthing person. As a feminist, I think this is almost verging on anti-women!
