The UK’s National Health Service has instructed midwives to stop using the term “breastfeeding,” in favor of the gender-neutral variant “chestfeeding.”
In a mission statement from the University of Brighton and the University of Sussex, the baby-delivering health care workers are instructed to use the new terms as part of a new gender-inclusive “language replacement” initiative.
“We are taking a gender-additive approach to the language used to describe our services. For us, a gender-additive approach means using gender-neutral language alongside the language of womanhood, in order to ensure that everyone is represented and included,” the Orwellian-sounding 19-page instructional explains.
The term “chestfeeding” appears in a section addressing which qualifiers to use when referring to a “woman or person at a specific point in their perinatal journey.”
A chart featured in the guide also provides examples on how to incorporate the new terms, including switching out the word “breastmilk” with “human milk.”
Whereas before a normal, sane person might say, “The value of breastfeeding as protection, comfort and food,” the new language controls instruct midwives to say, “The value of chestfeeding as protection, comfort and food.”
The handbook also features substitutions for words pertaining to a mother, which implies a “cis female,” or normal, parent.
Instead of “maternal,” midwives should say, “parental.”
Instead of “mother’s,” professionals should say, “birthing parent’s.”
Likewise, the word “father” will be phased out to the more gender-inclusive “co-parent,” stripping the traditionally male counterpart from the picture.
As if remembering a host of trivial gender language reversals wasn’t enough, midwives are also tasked with learning that “the term ‘women’ encompasses both cis and trans women,” and “that co-parents could have any gender identity, and could also be cis, trans, non-binary, and/or intersex.”
In a flyer released by Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals, midwives are also told to ask parents preferential pronouns and “offer pronoun stickers to trans & non-binary people,” in addition to “[getting] comfortable with ‘They, them, theirs’ pronouns.”
“Not all birthing parents identify as women or mothers …trans men & non-binary people can give birth too,” the flyer claims.
