Perhaps it can be considered a hobby of sorts? 26 minutes ago, little2add said: Laugh or make fun of my fuddy-dutty way of thinking. No permission was required from a relatively anonymous internet person, but it is a very generous offer which shall be considered. Given the time constraints, park occupancy limitations, and general probability it is quite unlikely any posters here has allowed their Disney theme park visit to be ruined by the new greeting. (Sometimes critical reading skills can come in handy.) But hearty congratulations to anyone who wishes to self-identify as a fuddy dutty; more power to them.

little2add Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 If you have a pronoun for a birthing person, then shouldn't you have a pronoun the pre-born baby. How about: "new yet-to-be born"? It sounds better than fetus and is non-binary too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little2add Posted July 18, 2021 Author Share Posted July 18, 2021 (edited) You know what would be a good non binary name for a “birthing person” that is less Confusing and/or derogatory? PARENT like , if you agree Edited July 18, 2021 by little2add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didacus Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Those who take offense to such terms as 'mother' have every right to do so, but no right to impose their world views on others. I for one will not accomodate their perceived realities and refuse to allow them to change my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightofChrist Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Birthing people, a term one would expect to find in the nightmare world of some trashy post-apocalyptic novel. It is a term that is dehumanizing for the child and the mother. The world is mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eustace-scrubb2 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 This is an absolutely bizarre term. People can call someone whatever they want, it's a free country and I don't care. But I don't have to take them seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
