A MAINSTREAM news organisation has reported that up to 55 men gave birth in Australia in 2014-15.
Sourcing Medicare records, The Australian newspaper said men were now regular users of maternity ward services.
- If the word “mother” bothers you so much, motherhood is going to be quite a shock.
- It is dehumanising, ridiculous language.
- “Birthing Parent” to be replaced with “Mother” on Medicare forms.
“Each year in Australia, several men give birth to children,” informed its July 21 article headlined “New mum’s fury over hospital form saying ‘birthing parent’ ”.
“In 2014-15, as many as 55 men gave birth, according to Medicare records,” the article continued.
IDENTITY
“That’s possible because not everyone’s gender identity matches the reproductive organs they were born with,” the newspaper lectured.
Labelling itself as the newspaper “for the informed Australian”, the broadsheet appeared to be “normalising” a biological impossibility.
“Advocates say that using gender neutral language such as ‘birthing parent’ can help include people who would otherwise be excluded,” The Australian continued.
“The federal government in 2013 amended the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 to introduce new protections from discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation, gender identity, and intersex status.
“The change meant that government records should reflect the fact that some people identify with a different gender than the one they were assigned at birth.”
BIRTHING PARENT
The report was in response to complaints about a Medicare form used by maternity wards that had replaced the word “mother” with “birthing parent”.
The complaint, by media personality Sall Grover, described the language used on the form as alien.
“It is dehumanising, ridiculous language,” she told the 9 Network’s Today Show.
“If the word ‘mother’ bothers you so much, motherhood is going to be quite a shock,” Ms Grover said.
Her complaints sparked immediate action from the Albanese government, which has moved to roll-back the Morrison Government’s gender identity crusade.
Government Services Minister Bill Shorten said he had advised Medicare to scrap the “birthing parent” forms.
“When I was informed of this situation yesterday, I instructed the responsible officials they should cease using the previous government’s forms,” Mr Shorten said.
“They will be replaced with new forms that use the word mother, not birthing parent, which is consistent with other Medicare forms.” PC
John W, you refer to lack of management about the insidious brainwashing of our kids by active gender ideologues. However, I would go beyond that to include covertly supportive Principals who know about what goes on and secretly endorse it. The problem lies with the “Education” ministers (both state and federal) who have endorsed the crap in the curriculum and haven’t got the balls to demand punitive action for breaches of procedural, moral and ethical teaching requirements. I have yet to hear of a teacher being stood down or dismissed for such unacceptable cretinous behaviour. Yet in Ireland recently a teacher was gaoled for refusing to use non-gender pronouns to a student! Is this the sort of shiite we can expect in the not too distant future???
Now if It was written 55 “men” gave birth last year, it would be believable. Without the parenthesis its just rediculous. And as for all those politicians who can’t give a definition of a woman, they should be sacked. We need more commonsense not ideology.
Spot on Carole!
It is way past time we called a spade a spade, or a woman a woman! If you are born with three legs then you cannot be a woman 🙂
We have Labor doing what the woke Liberal Party should have been doing.
Well we do have to think how next to vote.
“Her complaints sparked immediate action from the Albanese government, which has moved to roll-back the Morrison Government’s gender identity crusade.”
We are well and truly through the political looking glass now, aren’t we? (I wonder if Scott Morrison ever covers such topics as “gender identity” in any of his “sermons”).
Don’t know about his sermons but I do know that Scott Morrison has spoken out against various examples of that ridiculous nonsense.
“Don’t know about his sermons […]”
Here’s a hint then: Morrison is not a Christian, and he therefore wouldn’t know a sermon if one bit him on his extraordinarily ignorant arse.
You commented about sermons … “We are well and truly through the political looking glass now, aren’t we? (I wonder if Scott Morrison ever covers such topics as “gender identity” in any of his “sermons”).”
Hello John,
The comment comprises two parts:
(1) The observation that we are through the political looking glass, since it has been the supposedly conservative Liberals who have been pushing (or, at the very least, turning a blind eye to) left-wing nonsense, and it has taken a supposed Marxist to inject sanity in this instance.
(2) The “Christian” Scott Morrison tells his audience what they want to hear, but his inaction has always spoken more loudly than his words, and, by implication, his “sermons” are nothing more than the empty ramblings of a feckless hypocrite who neither knows God nor is known by him.
How the Hell has the Western World got to the stage where people with serious mental problems can make such outlandish claims?
OK, yes, If a man wants to pretend to be a woman, or a woman pretend to be a man, then fair enough, so long as they do not scare the horses.
What has this old carthorse kicking in the traces, is when they not only insist that men really CAN become women or women really CAN become men, but insist that I must believe their bullshonet and that they really CAN change sex.
However, when it comes to claiming that Men can become pregnant and give birth or other lunatic matters such as men competing in Women’s Sports, or putting male sex offenders into women’s prisons simply because they claim that they are now women, I’m kicking the stable door down!
It appears to be a success-by-stealth approach within the ranks of the public service employees, and obviously without being supervised which indicates that the social engineering is below the radar.
This was indicated in recent months by Sky News guests who have spoken about teachers using very professionally produced climate hoax propaganda material obtained on line from various activist organisations and taught in public school classrooms without permission from the Department of Education.
A lack of management?
To add to this consider the environment hoax exposed last night by Andrew Bolt, what a disgraceful situation and with the potential to cost taxpayers billions of dollars without considering the potential loss of minerals and energy deposits in National Park lands, no dams permitted despite a growing population and irrigation farming requirements, and much more;

Well, if it comes to being in prison, choose the girls’ wing every time!
