Mothers are now called "birthing parents." 
Correct. And I'm afraid that's just the tip of the iceberg of total insanity...
Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust has implemented a 'trans friendly gender-inclusive language policy'.
A policy document released this week states that in a drive to stamp out 'mainstream transphobia', a range of changes have been brought in
Its maternity department has been renamed 'perinatal services', and Staff have been instructed that breastfeeding must now be referred to as 'chestfeeding' and any mention of the word ‘mother’ must include the words 'or birthing parent'. “Breastmilk” should be replaced with the phrases “human milk”, “breast/chestmilk” or “milk from the feeding mother or parent”.
Other changes include replacing the use of “father” with “parent”, “co-parent” or “second biological parent”, depending on the circumstancesThis is the same NHS Trust that branded a rape survivor a bigot because she politely requested that a biological woman carry out her breast-screening appointment.
Sussex is also the location where Rachell Dios is employed as an NHS treatment and recovery ward
for women manager. This is Rachell Dios (on the right - as if you needed that pointing out...)
