The bland, technical, utilitarian concept of "birthing person" has no roots in any community and has no beauty, no significance. It does not connect heritage and generations and community and tradition and love and pride. It erases the word woman and the word mother, and for what? Transmen who give birth are doing the most female of human endeavors: they should be able to handle being referred to as women and mothers while they do it.
Can’t really stomach the birthing people language. I’m old school.

I notice the same thing about "birthing people" And then to connect "birth worker" with sex "worker?" I can't.
I haven't listened yet. Does she really use that term? Unfortunate. Women. We can say that: women. See how easily-said that is?
Repeatedly. I just can’t. No credibility for me from using that word alone.
That wooden jewelry, tho 😆
