Think even more general than that. Ignore identity/gender/sexuality issues for a moment. How do you write a research article about the negative effects of a drug on pregnancy without using the word pregnant? About complications during a "normal pregnancy"(I'm using their word, not mine - please don't take offense - I hope you see where I'm going)? If you can't mention gender or pregnancy, even when it's about cis people, you suddenly can't do a whole hell of a lot of research.

Oh you can say pregnant woman. Just not pregnant person.
