Pc Bullshit

[Me+Me]

So here's my one for the day:

"Pregnant people"

Wtf is that?  The ONLY creature who can get pregnant is a female WOMAN.  As far as I'm aware.

Anyone also got a bit of 'Pc' crap they'd like to share?

[crafters_corner]

Along those lines....'we are pregnant'.....nup, it's only me pregnant thanks.

[Oh_hunnihunni]

I do not get it. What is wrong with being proud to be a woman? Or a man? Or trans? Or middlesex? Or neuter? Or any other gender? Why do we have to pretend to be something other just to feel respected?

Yeah and when the media promote this it's not ideal.

This one I don't get either.
Although I do wish men could also become pregnant & give birth; it would do wonders for understanding & communication for both genders.

pauses can be pregnant

[Me+Me]

pauses can be pregnant

Hmmm lol.

Yeah but out of the category 'people' ONLY women can be pregnant.  I dunno about this PC crap.  It's all so damn silly sometimes.

[yousnoozeyoulose]

pauses can be pregnant

But not menopauses.

There are only two genders. Male and Female.
Anyone who claims to be anything other is either on the spectrum or mentally ill.

Well, no. Mama Nature is a very creative creature. Anyone who has any familiarity with anatomy, or porn for that matter, knows she has a penchant for diversity. Always trying new things out to see what works...

And while only women can be pregnant, so far it takes a man somewhere along the line to make that magic happen.

Preferably as often as possible.

Just to be entirely sure, obviously...

[Oh_hunnihunni]

Practice makes perfect.

[crafters_corner]

The imaginings of a naked man, all sweaty and desiring me......

I really must write a book one day...

[nzoomed]

Well with a transgender man I doubt a pregnancy would be even possible or safe to begin with, depending on the level of hormone treatment and/or surgery done, and why would they even try and get pregnant if they identify as a man anyway?
And the other way round, well thats totally impossible.

[Oh_hunnihunni]

I believe it has already happened, though the female in question was only partway through transitioning. I think it would be very challenging and confusing to suddenly discover the pregnancy. But then, to conceive in the first place indicates some confusion was pre existing.

It must be just awful, to feel you've been born into the wrong body & trying to fit into the world somehow.

You're entitled to your own opinion and perspective but suggesting those with different views are either "on the spectrum or mentally ill" is pretty rude. Most of all to people on the spectrum or those with mental illnesses.

I'd rather be accused of having shit for brains or being a fucking muppet for being open to the idea of non-binary genders. I dunno if you can use the C-word here, but call me a thick c--- if you feel that strongly about it.

But me acknowledging that someone may not identify with a gender that's male or female makes no difference at all to my life. If a person asks if I might let their partner go ahead of me in line for something because they are pregnant, I don't really need to know if they're a pregnant male, female or something inbetween or outside. If they're carrying a baby inside them, then there's a good chance their body has surprised them with randomly full feeling bladder or a mad craving for McDonald's fries. I'm not going to die waiting for one extra person.

Agreed, we have progressed alot since those days when such things were considered mental illness.

There are only two genders. Male and Female. Science. 
To deny this and claim to be somthing else is only in ones own mind. If your mind is telling you otherwise then it is not firing on all cylinders.
As someone on the spectrum I can understand the thinking. As do I understand mental illness, bit of that too. It is an abnormal affliction but it is just that, an affliction.
My original statement stands.
*makes mental note to explore reigns 'shit for brains' acknowledgment.*

I dont do PC bullshit, being 'on the spectrum' is not an insult. Being called a retard is an insult.
Having a mental illness is not an insult either. Id rather be called that than 'nuts' or 'stupid'.
I dont think we need to re-write the biology textbooks and build separated shithouses because someones weirdo sister wants to be an asexual unicorn.

I think science has actually moved on from the simplistic view of binary genders that you advocate Magoo.
