Using it wholesale though, just kind of seems crappy. Its honestly like woman, mother, etc are dirty words. And yes, its never anything to do with men, seemingly. Only ever women. Infact, oddly, I have found those who tend to shout about how the correct term is menstruators or whatever, REALLY do not like you also using terms such as penis people if referring to men. I don't do it often like, I did it a couple of times in a convo about this stuff, and got a lot of abuse for it, apparently, men is fine. So, tell me this is not rampant misogyny really..honestly..
I just read the article Vicky and it sounds like they're calling father's "birthing parent" & "co parent " instead of man . And yeah it should just be for people who identify that way rather than making it for everyone. But it seems female phrases are being targeted mostly .

I hope this daft trend stays in Brighton, if a woman go into labour they can't expect her to be called just a "person" with "human milk" sounds ridiculous .
