every FUCKING pregnancy book has a self congratulatory little write up like this. oh we really care a lot about being inclusive which is why we say pregnant woman and her sperm generating husband approx 5 times per page. right. right. inclusive. you put in the little paragraph -- yeah. okay.

it's not even hard, there's a notable organization called evidence based birth out of fucking Kentucky that uses terms like 'pregnant person' 'gestational carrier' 'non gestational parent' -- they are not an organization which predominantly serves queers, like I love a queer doula, I love a queer midwife, that's awesome! and those folks usually use inclusive language. but it's like, this is not a queer-exclusive thing, here's this whole ostensibly straight organization that's committed to allyship in a way that puts every major publication to shame.

I love the otherwise reliable contents of these highly recommended non-inclusive books so I'm GONNA keep reading them but like you can obviously do better and you know that you should. fuck's sake.
