(Infowars) - The UK’s National Health Service has instructed midwives to stop using the term “breastfeeding,” in favor of the gender-neutral variant “chestfeeding.”
In a mission statement from the University of Brighton and the University of Sussex, the baby-delivering health care workers are instructed to use the new terms as part of a new gender-inclusive “language replacement” initiative.
“We are taking a gender-additive approach to the language used to describe our services. For us, a gender-additive approach means using gender-neutral language alongside the language of womanhood, in order to ensure that everyone is represented and included,” the Orwellian-sounding 19-page instructional explains.
The term “chestfeeding” appears in a section addressing which qualifiers to use when referring to a “woman or person at a specific point in their perinatal journey.”
A chart featured in the guide also provides examples on how to incorporate the new terms, including switching out the word “breastmilk” with “human milk.”
