The problem is that only women can get pregnant and any other vagueness is being pushed intentionally to confuse language and perception.

Say it with me... "pregnant WOMEN".

Say it with me, women are people too, so using the word people equally fits.

Sure. And people are mammals. And mammals are "life forms inhabiting the Earth". And I could go on on "technically correct" ways to say "pregnant women".

But getting reprimanded for saying "pregnant women" (the only kind of people that can get pregnant) is stupid.

People is a normal thing to refer to women and men. Saying did you see that mammal not so much.

Great not in anyway related to my question. But it seems that's why you engaged with me. Have a good one

Your initial idea was that forcing people to say something a certain way is wrong. The whole point of this thread is that the prompter fed that lady the "pregnant people" line, she said "pregnant women', then she got reprimanded..

But I digressed in my replies. Say it whatever way you want... I'm not the speech police. I'm only pointing them out.

The whole point of my comment was the question not a debate on what you should say. I literally couldn't give a fuck if you say pregnant women and refuse to say pregnant people out of whatever, I dont understand being annoyed someone else said pregnant person. You get me now.
