Hallelujah. Good to see the height of female ambition is being called women. 31% of children in the UK live in poverty, but at least you've got a word

The apparent correction, during a broadcast on Saturday lunchtime, was endorsed by JK
Rowling, the Harry Potter author and gender campaigner, who posted a clip of the incident on X.

“I have a new favourite BBC presenter,” she commented.

The gender-neutral term “pregnant people” is used by activists who claim to believe biological
women who may be pregnant can be men, if they identify as such.

If folks can't see the blatant radicalisation behind trans people existing, then a billionaire author having a new favourite presenter, because she said "woman," should be a stark wake up call.

You're being used to focus on unimportant things, over and above feeding our families and having decent living standards for everyone in the UK. Interesting that a billionaire who should be paying more, is leading this charge.

I don't know what you mean here. Can you reword or clarify, so I know what i'm replying to, please? Not trying to be a dick, just genuinely don't get what you're trying to say.

I have no idea whether this is true or not, but if it is, it should be the one issue in this thread that rightly and justifiably raises feminist ire, but it won't, because she said "woman."

"there is no social revolution without the liberation of women," has been changed by women themselves, to "look, she said a word." Sad times.

While I see trans men as men and trans women as women in societal terms and will defend their rights to use the spaces for the gender they identify as, I think we should take into consideration that it's somewhat disingenuous to say things like "men can get pregnant" when it's the female part of a trans man (the biological aspect) that is allowing them to do that.

I personally don't see why "pregnant women" needs to be changed to "pregnant people". Yes, trans men can get pregnant, but it's so rare that I don't think we need to undo what many millions of biological women have to go through by making it gender neutral.

I personally think that biological women go through a lot of biological strain that men don't have to deal with and by saying things like "men can get pregnant" and "men can have periods" and even "pregnant people" with the insinuation that could be a man, it's undermining that completely.

Away from that, I don't understand WHY a trans man would want to be do something that that is so intrinsic to the biological cycle of biological women and I would imagine most trans men would absolutely despise the idea, which makes this certain gender neutral language a bit pointless.

I also think it's counter productive - as mentioned, most trans men would HATE to get pregnant or menstruate or go through menopause, it would be extremely triggering for them, and so by insinuating they are able to, is highlighting their biological sex which they are trying desperately to disassociate from.

There is a place for gender neutral language for the sake of inclusivity, but I don't believe this is it and I think it does nobody any good.

Having said all that, I don't see the need to take glee from changing it as some kind of gotcha. It feels cheap.

That's just my personal belief on this.

Well done @martineBBC

The ‘progressive’ @BBCNews
previously tried to discriminate against talented women of her vintage but she and her colleagues saw the misogynists off.

If you recall she took the BBC to task for ageism a year or so ago
