The British Medical Association has advised its members not to call pregnant women 'expectant mothers'; they should be called 'pregnant people'. Why? To avoid offending transgender people.

The guy was a man when he had the under-sized person in a human repair workshop. Pregnant father is what he is until he becomes a sex-changed mother , a mother-to-be. He will mourn the loss of fathering so that's deleted : he's no longer a front-end loader and father of the bride when his daughter marries, just man of the match.

Dear ttbn,

No, the British Medical Association did not advise its
members of anything of the sort. The instructions were
meant only for organisational staff to be more
inclusive in the language they use. Members of the
BMA can do what they want.

I wonder how long before there is a designated psycho-medical condition for some men who have been deprived of the joys of giving birth, and raising babies 24/7. Men have to put up with so much, and on top of that, one can only feel dreadfully sorry for their childlessness.

People elsewhere might have troubles, like all those three hundred thousand people in that refugee camp in Kenya. But how can that compare with a gay couple desperate for a 'normal' family life - by having a child ?

People can be so cruel and unfeeling.

Yeah, I'm sure they did (rolls eyes). Evidence, or it didn't happen. Because if it sounds that ridiculous there's a good chance that some smart-arse invented it just to see how many gullible people he coould get to parrot it. So far I make it two, although it's never easy to decipher what nick actually means by his posts.

Do you believe everything you're told, ttbn? Or do you only suspend your disbelief when it's a 'fact' that makes lefties, poofs, darkies, women etc. look foolish?

Foxy,

You will, of course, produce evidence?
