Globally, ethnic minority pregnant and birthing people suffer worse outcomes and experiences during and after pregnancy and childbirth. These inequities have been further highlighted by #COVID19 . Watch this panel discussion on #MaternalJustice .

@harvardmed_cme Then stop using the terminology because it DOES erase and dehumanize us.

@harvardmed_cme By that line of reasoning, what would the men be called!!

@HMSPostgradCE Well, that's exactly what you're doing.

@HMSPostgradCE All who give birth ARE women or girls, though.

@HMSPostgradCE It's quite entertaining to watch these twisted ideologies start to consume themselves.

@HMSPostgradCE

@HMSPostgradCE *women

@HMSPostgradCE Birthing women...😶 Who comes up with this PC buffoonery? Y'all need to chill.

@HMSPostgradCE You cannot use dehumanizing language and not dehumanize.

@HMSPostgradCE Sheer entertainment here. I just to think that I once thought education was the solution to a lot of societies problems...turns out it has BECOME the problem. Plot twist, lol.

@HMSPostgradCE How much does a Harvard Education cost?? 🤔🥴🤨

@HMSPostgradCE Calling women ‘birthing person’ or ‘menstruators’ is disgusting, dehumanizing and gross. Women are being erased by the woke Left who insist that gender doesn’t exist or matter. If a non-binary person doesn’t want to be called a woman, fine. Don’t erase the 98% to satisfy 2%

@HMSPostgradCE What if they identify as a dog? 🤔 Doesn't this discriminate on the basis that they're not a person? That terminology is so offensive towards those who want to be dehumanised. I mean how bigoted can you be? Like OMG YOU should SO apologise to the K9 community. Like right now..😱

@HMSPostgradCE I would recommend never using “birthing person” to describe women.

@HMSPostgradCE I'm going to start asking my doctors if they think anyone other than women can give birth. If the answer is anything other than a RESOUNDING "NO!", then I'm outa there! If this is the kind of crap Harvard med school is teaching, I can no longer respect the degrees from there.

@HMSPostgradCE Harvard: “To avoid confusion, we will henceforth refer to women as ‘mobile spawn points’.”

@HMSPostgradCE We Todd did. Sofa King we Todd did.

@HMSPostgradCE Can we summarize your point as "Women will not be erased, but let's also not forget that men might be better at giving birth"?

@harvardmed_cme It is dehumanizing and erasure. Women will not stand for it. Normal people will not stand for it. This is why people are losing trust in higher education and academia.

@harvardmed_cme This is neither progressive nor inclusive. This is simply denying biology to fit into ideology. Science > politics 😊
