      Even if you're a very nice cis ally, if you see a headline like "Hospital Bans 'Breast' and 'Woman' for Trans Acceptance" and think "huh, probably a freak instance of activism going too far, nbd" instead of "obvious lie" you don't know enough about trans issues to cover them.https://twitter.com/e_urq/status/1361672795005067269 …

      This industry has no literacy on trans issues, and it shows. It's worse in the UK, but US journalists should know better than to repeat this sort of nonsense without checking.

      How changes happen is that activist groups identify problems, they convince institutions to take those problems seriously, and then they suggest ways to fix them. Many things can go wrong in this process, and it occasionally yields absurd or unworkable outcomes. BUT...

      If you see a story in the "activism going too far" mode and understand the activists/goals in question, you can always see the logic. But there's no trans activism to remove 'breast' from the English language. Literally none. There are no trans rights goals this addresses.

      If a story says the words men and women in some document are being replaced by "people" well, that passes the smell test. We can argue about whether it's good or not. If the story says a hospital is telling pregnant cis women about "chestfeeding"? No chance. Did not happen.

      Especially stupid considering “breast” is itself already fairly gender neutral... hence most men’s suits having a “breast pocket”
