There are a few guys on here who appear to have a lot of spare time on their hands. 
It is entertaining though …please keep it up.
Entertaining… but exhausting in equal measure :0)
The obvious gag is too cheap 
i dont really know why i have a problem with the change from breast feeding to chest feeding, i just do…its just another ridiculous change for no reason…as if with all the shit someones gone through to change from being a male and then have to have a baby …an actual baby…as if calling it breast feeding actual should even be a thought.
in my most cynical moments, i honestly believe its some leach ( and i mean that) on some government think tank coming up with some latest clap trap to justify another year on the purse…
most of us have been around for the miracle of birth, and the subsequent hard yards just after to make sure your baby survives and thrives…who (hand on heart) really gives a fuck what it is called that gives to baby food at the time…so whilst you might say ‘whats the harm in changing the language to not offend someone’, the more apt point might be ‘whats the point?, and whos agenda does it actually serve’

My lad’s 29 now, and there was a similar issue back when we were feeding him.
No matter how many people wanted to refer to it as breast feeding, I just wasn’t having it.
A breast looks fuck all like a bottle
At the end of the day, the person that gives birth to a child is always the mother, or mum.
So if you want to be totally PC, just call them mummy milkers 
Turns up, chucks a hand grenade in and watches from a distance.
Let’s go, is the person who gives birth a mother? I say yes.

Life experience can be useful to inform one’s perspectives. It is not a substitute for actual evidence. Your constant crying about your “life experience” just smacks of someone who’s so up their own arsehole they can’t see anything else.
You mean people with the privilege of not falling into the wrong categories?
What are you on about?
Crying? My god, do I come across as emotional?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the change itself only applies to trans parents?
This is why I find this whole argument completely ridiculous. Bunch of snowflakes take offence to changing language to better accommodate people who are more likely (because of gender discrimination, dysphoria, and/or potential for post-natal depression) to have mental health issues after giving birth, because it doesn’t comport with the way they think?
Something that literally doesn’t affect their life except because they choose to take offence to the changes, while to the people for whom the changes are made, it could be quite significant, and yet the latter category are the ones who often get labelled snowflakes?
The point that @Mascot ended up indirectly making is the age-old one in this entire bloody thread, and a good point that @cynicaloldgit makes as well (perhaps unintentionally). There’s a bunch of privileged straight white men taking offence at things and changes being made for people who aren’t them, and criticising the very real minority groups for whom the changes are being made, without anyone considering their perspectives at all.

A whiny little cryarse, yes.
How do you know they are “straight white men”?
How many ism’s are you guilty of in that one sentence

I’m counting the main protagonists in this, not tarring all in a single brush.
Unless I’m mistaken though.
If someone on here started complaining about LGBT black women(or whatever combo) it wouldn’t go down to well.
Just saying

Yes, that’s because one group has traditionally held all the power, while the other groups have been marginalised.
It’s like comparing complaining in China about the Uyghur population to complaining about the Han Chinese population. Or comparing complaining in India about Dalits to complaining about Brahmins.
