Don't hold back!
OPINION: ACT MP Mark Cameron isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but he certainly calls it how he sees it, holding nothing back when ‘climate scientists’ had a crack at Kiwi farmers recently:
The university is encouraging its staff to use “parent-inclusive language”, such as “chest feeding” instead of “breastfeeding” and “human milk” rather than “mother’s milk”.
Similarly, the terms “mother” and “father” should be replaced with “gestational” and “non-gestational” parent, according to the ANU’s ‘Gender-Inclusive Handbook’.
It notes that while “many students will identify as ‘mothers’ and ‘fathers’, using these terms alone to describe parenthood…“excludes those who do not identify with gender-binaries”.
Stone the crows! Or should that be: ‘Stone the ‘non-binary, feathered, gestational and non-gestational avians’?
