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.

Pregnant men isn't as far fetched as it sounds really. If they can recreate an extinct animal from DNA with an off branch they certainly can get a man to have a uterus. No ovaries needed.

Heck pig hearts for humans are now feasible.

That's a false equivalent, and not relevant to this particular subject.

@SW-User if they can do that, then a uterus in men is not only relevant yet also applicable.

I'm not changing the subject! Nor is that link false!

@DeWayfarer Uterus transplants aren't even common for women. Assuming biological men did receive successful uterus transplants, they still wouldn't be able to get pregnant.

@SW-User it's feasible! Meaning that it could "possibly" be done. Not saying anything else. Yet language almost always prepares itself for the inevitable.

I this one is off topic yet it explains the changes in language. Saying hello now days I have noticed is sort of passe. The yonger generation will say whatsup. It's the same thing really. Yet it's prepping up for other things to come. So whatsup will also eventually become passe.

Your forms are no different. It will happen.

Except I'm not talking about possibilities. My only consideration is what is possible now. As things stand, only a woman can get pregnant. It's extremely unlikely that men will ever be able to get pregnant, but that is beside the point.

It is off-topic, and not relevant to anything I have said.

@SW-User I said it was off topic, yet it's totally relevant. Heck you in your replies referred to this same thing to others. Just in a negative light.
