The NHS is planning to spend £100,000 extending a scheme promoting inclusion that teaches staff how they should speak to pregnant transgender men.
"We will provide inclusive, respectful care to pregnant people and their families.
"Our midwives’ role is to support a pregnant person’s journey through each stage of pregnancy, birth, and the early days with their baby."Picture:According to the paper, NHS England, with the backing of Health Secretary Steve Barclay, have put out a £100,000 tender - a process in which businesses are invited to bid for a contact or contracts - to extend the scheme across the country.
But critics have said the use of this language on midwifery courses runs the risk of 'dehumanising women'. Northumbria University, which uses the inclusive language, told MailOnline: "While the vast majority of people who are pregnant and give birth will identify as women, we ensure that our programmes acknowledge that students may provide care for those who may not...But campaign group Woman's Place UK told the outlet: "Pregnancy and birth are experiences that are unique to women.
"Phrases such as "birthing people" and "childbearing people" reduce women to bodies whose sole function is to carry and give birth to babies."
