    A "woman" should now be referred to as "woman or person." A "father" is now called a "co-parent" or "second biological parent." Words such as "maternal" or "maternity" are avoided in various ways, such as changing "maternal consent" to "informed consent" and "maternity care" to "perinatal care." The word "breastfeeding" can be replaced with "chestfeeding."

    "Gender identity can be a source of oppression and health inequality," the trust said. "We are consciously using the words 'woman' and 'people' together to make it clear that we are committed to working on addressing health inequalities for all those who use our services."

    We are definitely lurching closer to lunacy. Finally some truth in the media.

    In America, the men who once fought for freedom and liberty are now s#$! talked by the left, corporate media and most large corporations. Freedom of speech has been replaced with re-education campaigns, sensitivity training, and mass media psychological operations against the citizens. The silicon valley tycoons have effectively silenced those with a different viewpoint from the tyrants. We are just a step or two from declaring those who support the founders vision, freedom, liberty, freedom of speech, etc. as terrorists.

    Luckily the silent majority still exists, despite those unaware and caught up in the NY-DC axis of evil's echo chamber. They also remain heavily armed.

    Travelling across the country it is hard not to notice there are Trump supporters everywhere, Trump flags, Trump bumper stickers, Trump billboards, Trump on letter board marquees, etc. while I have only seen literally half a dozen Biden signs. Meanwhile, the man sits in DC on trial by the establishment.

    Something smells really rotten these days.

    Retiring Brokaw: Journalists should get out of power centers
    By DAVID BAUDERJanuary 28, 2021
    NEW YORK (AP) — If Tom Brokaw has one piece of advice to leave for television journalists upon his retirement, it’s to get out to more of the country —and not just to visit.

    The Capitol insurrection is but one example of a story that might not have seemed as much a surprise if more journalists were attuned to communities outside of the power centers, the veteran NBC newsman said.

    Yup. Tom Brokaw saw a lot of world changes in his time. Back when people were expected to think. Before education failed us, when fanatical/evangelical groups were fringe not mainstream. When science was valuable and emotional self control was a sign of being a respectable adult.
    Now home grown terrorists have a terrifyingly large fan base and 2/3 of the country is a victim of some sort.
    Yes the 'Woke cult' is nuts. But if you believe that we are simultaneously the most awesome country ever yet unable to pull off a legit democratic vote and the right solution is defiling the Capitol building... A little calm introspection is called for.
    Truth is always between 2 extremes.
