Biden\u2019s health secretary, Dr. Rachel Levine, recently visited an organization called Identity Alaska. While there, Levine, a biological male who identifies as a woman, praised the gender clinic, which wants the word \u201cmother\u201d replaced with phrases such as \u201cegg producer.\u201d Such language diminishes the vital role of women as mothers and the value of motherhood and negates the necessary mother\/child bond.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Alaska organization also promotes the notion of changing the way schools teach biology to be \u201cgender-inclusive,\u201d which purports that doctors are only making a \u201cguess\u201d when they \u201cassign\u201d babies a gender at birth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A document shared by <\/span>The Daily Mail<\/span><\/a> from genderinclusivebiology.com shows that rather than men\/male and women\/female, the organization wants teachers to focus on \u201cthe organ, functional activity, or role\u201d rather than the human being. <\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of \u201cThe mother carries the fetus for 9 months,\u201d the group wants teachers to say, \u201cThe gestational parent carries the fetus for 9 months.\u201d And instead of \u201cMales are more likely to be color blind,\u201d the goal is to have teachers say, \u201cXY individuals are more likely to be color blind.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Women are also to be referred to as \u201cestrogen-dominant bod[ies]\u201d and men as \u201cpeople with testes,\u201d according to the document. The unique beauty of what it means to be a woman and what it means to be a man would be erased.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, instead of \u201cmom,\u201d the terms \u201cbirth parent\u201d and \u201ccarrier\u201d are recommended. And instead of throwing a \u201cgender reveal party,\u201d the goal is to have parents throw \u201cembryogenesis parties\u201d or \u201cchromosome reveal parties.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In promoting such anti-motherhood terminology, Identity Alaska and the Biden administration by way of Levine are actively stripping the language of family, replacing it with language typically reserved for surrogates<\/em> or egg donors<\/em>. Surrogates and egg donors often declare to have no emotional connection to the children they help to bring into the world (though that is debatable). By transferring this same impersonal, detached language to pregnant, biological mothers, gender inclusivity businesses and organizations are encouraging society to equate natural motherhood to a transaction \u2014 effectively working to erase the very real, necessary, and meaningful mother\/child bond that exists during pregnancy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
