[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Men can’t get pregnant.

A woman is an adult human female.

These are controversial sayings now.[/quote]

If you already know that the pregnant person is female human, then why would saying "person" be a problem.   What information does "girl" or "woman" add?

Then why would it bother you if you did say girl?  [/quote]

The person saying “person” is the OP’s daughter.  Some on this thread (like me) are hoping the pregnant person has all the help needed.  I mean wouldn’t that be what the average parent thinks?  Somehow it seems to bother people like you and OP that her daughter said “pregnant person” rather than “pregnant girl”.  In reverse, if the OP had come on the board and said her daughter had talked about the pregnant woman at school, nobody would have cared.  And the thread might have proceeded down the path of teen pregnancy.  The only people making a big deal out of this are you. [/quote]

It obviously bothers the op or they wouldn't have started it.  And I can assure you that I am not the only person who is bothered by it.  Tell me you are gen z without saying you are.  You are policing my word choice just because you can and I am not going to lie down and take it.[/quote]

Who is policing your word choice?  A girl says “pregnant person” to her mom.  Somehow you are being canceled by this? You and the OP are free to call the pregnant person a girl. [/quote]
