They are absolutely bleeping deluded.
uhmm..
"many services available to cis people are denied or are much harder to access for trans people, inc HRT, hair removal and transplant, gamete storage and fertility treatment, voice therapy, facial surgery, breast augmentation and reduction, hysterectomy, vasectomy and associated surgeries and gender affirming protheses. We demand equal access to these services. We demand an end to segregation in the NHS"

Ha, I'd forgotten about this. We really do live in a post-satire world.
I can appreciate the point because of the constant onslaught but I think that is just normal language that would be used in this context. When someone is pretending to be something they are not such as fat, old, pregnant, disabled if would often be ā¦I am playing a fat personā¦pregnant person. It could be equally speaking some people would say fat woman, old woman, pregnant womanā¦..and so on. Obviously itās itās acting the credits will reflect the sex.I just got done watching Eastenders on catch up and I just need to have a little rant. There was a scene where of the child characters Lexi, was planning on auditioning for the part of Mary in the school nativity. The nativity gets cancelled and her response is āso Iāve been walking around the square for the last 2 weeks like a pregnant person for nothing?ā.
I know itās just a silly soap opera and this is a relatively minor thing compared to whatās being discussed, but seriously?!?? Itās woman. Pregnant. Woman. Iāve had it with this nonsense.
i think in this pregnant person actually sounds better, not only just for the alliteration but if it said "pregnant woman" surely that implies there is such a thing as a pregnant man?I can appreciate the point because of the constant onslaught but I think that is just normal language that would be used in this context.

I dunno, maybe youāre right. Maybe iām sensitive to it because of the blatant attempts to erase women centred language. Itās on par with āpeople with a cervixā in my eyes. I felt like it was a very intentional choice of words used by the writers. I never heard of the term āpregnant personā until relatively recently. When I was growing up it was always pregnant woman/lady/mother, maybe that was just my experience.I can appreciate the point because of the constant onslaught but I think that is just normal language that would be used in this context.

true, i guess just saying "pregnant"would make more senseI dunno, maybe youāre right. Maybe iām sensitive to it because of the blatant attempts to erase women centred language.

Fat or old people can be of either sex. So saying āfat personā or āold personā makes sense. Only women can get pregnant so why not acknowledge that?
Like I said I know itās a relatively minor thing amongst everything that gets discussed here. Maybe I am making something of nothing.
I would love to know which NHS services are providing all of these services to "cis" people for free. Can't even get IVF where I live. Zero free rounds. The NHS is a bleeping lottery for services anyway without trans people getting all this tit too

Iām with you. I donāt think āpregnant personā is a phrase that would have been uttered by anyone until recently. āPregnantā is such a sex-specific term it just wouldnāt be used alongside āpersonā.I dunno, maybe youāre right.

That was horrific reading. Did that poor woman Farrow try to take him to court for harassment? I really hope he didn't get away with it.Now that the harrop case has finished good sum of the abuse that he meted out

Yes gender ideology is creeping in everywhere however in the case of what was discussed I don't believe that is the case. I never watched the scene and don't watch eastender's so had just commented on what the dialogue that had been quoted said. The term person is used when describing one's character. The scene in question was from one person's viewpoint so the girl saying she was playing a pregnant person makes sense. Same if a woman says she is acting......she could describe different parts she was playing such as drunk person, pregnant person, new mother, doctor etc. If you are watching and listening you know she is a woman so there is no need for her to say drunk female, female doctor as its self evident from her description what type of character she will be. However the term new mother is correctly used as that refers to a woman that has recently given birth. Equally speaking the actress if asked by friends if she has had any parts recently she could say that she was a pregnant woman in casualty or she could say she played a pregnant person. From the others peoples viewpoints they know she is a woman so both descriptions are valid. On the credits it would be correctly labelled as pregnant woman as it would not be correct to use language such as pregnant person or just pregnant there.Iām with you. I donāt think āpregnant personā is a phrase that would have been uttered by anyone until recently. āPregnantā is such a sex-specific term it just wouldnāt be used alongside āpersonā.
Iām sure Eastenders did it deliberately and itās yet another example of the insidious way that gender ideology is infecting everything.
No one. I had a work colleague with PCOS who spent a fortune on waxing, bless her.Who the duck gets hair removal on the NHS?
