    Dave Weigel Retweeted Robert Balkovich

    Would the phrase “mothers and other pregnant people” cover this? That includes trans men, women who miscarry, etc. I guess folks could make fun of that but it’s not as ungainly as “birthing people.”https://twitter.com/robertbalkovich/status/1403495756149837824 …

    Because not all people who give birth end up being parents. They are two different concepts that usually, but not always, overlap.

        I have to agree that the terminology still needs a lot of work. Gestators sounds kind of cool, but still a little too clinical.

        That sounds way cooler than birthing people

        Dave has the answers to a topic he admitted to not knowing about less than an hour ago! Do Israel-Palestine next!

        The complaints would be the same. And it bears mention that your alternative is even longer.

        I vote that we repurpose the significantly less awkward term "birth parent."

        Biological fathers are also “birth parents,” so it’s not a helpful substitute vis-a-vis childbirth.

        Women miscarry all the time, often without knowing it. During that time they were "mothers"? I had an abortion. Was I a "mother" until the abortion?
