Pregnant woman, or pregnant person?

In recent years, it has become normalized to refer to pregnant women as pregnant people. When I was pregnant with my firstborn, I noticed this in various forms of medical literature. Much of it was in articles from legitimate medical sources. This isn't just a trend on social media, it has actually become commonplace to use this term and we as individuals are being encouraged to use it too. The words and expressions that people use are always influenced by the culture around them, and the world that they live in. In the case of the West, that world is now one where authorities, including the most important in delivering information relevant to pregnant women, are deviating from actual medical realities for the sake of ideology. They seek to further an agenda that proclaims to advocate rights and equality when in essence it has nothing to do with that. Women who do not identify as women are in an extreme minority, and they should be treated as such.

Well there's apparently contention as to what a woman is because supposedly men can get pregnant too. I'll say this. If you want me to jump on that mess, show me a biological male transition into a woman and carry to term.
@SW-User AP (Associated Press) publishes the AP Stylebook that is the guide for news journalists.

A recent update instructs news media to refer to women who identify as men not as such, but simply as men. So, when a woman as that is pregnant, the result you'll see in mainstream news media is — a man is pregnant.
