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.

I don't know why it is such a problem for people to acknowledge their biological gender. If you have a womb, you are a woman. Why the need for this absurd political correctness.
People may feel like a man or a woman inside or both or whatever but the scientific fact is that 99.9% of the people on this plant are either male or female biologically. It need not diminish you in any way to admit that.
