Jesus christ.

For the record? I employ four midwives, a naturopathic doctor who specializes in gender affirming care and had transgender advocates comb through our materials for gender-inclusive language and I've never heard of Ana Kasparian. This kerfuffle simply has not reached our shores.

You'd think it would? 'cuz you know what? There are men - who used to be women - who have babies. We've gotten paid for helping them out. Not something that happened, culturally, just a few years ago and if we're being honest, not something anyone needs an opinion about. If these men aren't having your baby, I don't see how it matters to you. It's not a "woke medical journals" thing it's a "people gain self-esteem from claiming their gender of choice lay the fuck off" thing but you're right - pillorying someone for the thoughtcrime of having an opinion is about as 2023 as it gets.

Cenk Uygur is an asshole. I would expect that anyone who works with him is asshole-adjacent.
