"Pregnant Person" well, yeah. Kind of redundant with Pregnant Woman.

Unfortunately there are also pregnant girls.

You know that's not what this is about.

Why do you want to limit free speech?

[–] Tb0n3 1 points 1 week ago

It's less about free speech and more about accuracy of language. When the waters are constantly muddied by making meaningless distinctions of a "pregnant woman" vs "pregnant person" when a man cannot get pregnant you're just making things confusing to stroke your own ego.
