The UK government is pushing the UN to say pregnant people instead of pregnant women because it may exclude transgender people who have given birth.
This is insane. Lol wtf is going on in the West? Even feminists are apparently outraged at this new proposal. Is this a new low?
The statement comes in Britain’s official submission on proposed amendments to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which the UK has been a signatory since 1976. The UN treaty says a “pregnant woman” must be protected, including not being subject to the death penalty.
Yet in the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office submission, Britain opposes the term “pregnant woman” because it may “exclude transgender people who have given birth”. The suggested term is “pregnant people”.
