I HOPE YOU REMEMBER TO WISH YOUR BIRTHING PERSON A GOOD DAY SUNDAY! Not very many things make me so angry at their stupidity that I decide to make it the focus of the show, but here we are. Rep. Cori Bush, in an effort to share her touching birth story as a mom, decided to use the gender inclusive language birthing person along with Mother or woman. I can t even with this. Now it s okay to erase MY identity to make a tiny percentage of the population that may want to present as a man but still have a baby comfortable. NO. I WILL NOT. Make up a new word, I completely reject having my sex and gender erased to soothe someone else s feelings. If this is addition to the language by someone who wants to be called this, fine. But I will not every use this as a part of speech unless asked to specifically by a person who wants to be called this. By the way, here story is important and I m glad she shared it, but the story is lost now because of this birthing person
