[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is nothing incorrect about saying “pregnant person” or whatever, so what is the issue? Be glad your daughter is talking to you. Be sure to keep parsing and criticizing the words she chooses, and see where that gets you.[/quote]
The majority of men and women in our country know it's absurd to talk about pregnant people and individuals instead of girls, women, mothers, moms, etc.[/quote]

I mean, sure. Hold that line. Question your teen and make her feel wrong and stupid, or that she can’t talk to you. Good luck with that! Be sure to make this a point of contention, and see exactly how far it gets you. Some people value communication with their child. And apparently some would rather be “right” about every single word chosen than have a relationship with their child. Pick your lane. Good luck.[/quote]

It is useful to teach their children truth.  So yeah, I try to hold the line on that.[/quote]

How is it not “true” that there is a person DD knows who is pregnant? Show me what is inaccurate. Is the pregnant student not a human being, not a person? Is it a pregnant AI bot? Do tell.

Anyway, when my kids talk to me, I don’t challenge them over words if I understand the meaning. There is not one inaccurate thing about [b]pregnant person.[/b][/quote]

Except "pregnant person" implies both sexes can get pregnant, which is clearly incorrect. It's far more accurate to say pregnant woman or girl. [/quote]
