In case you were wondering if everything is getting dumber and dumber …
Yup.
We know you know that we know you know it’s getting dumber (and we thought 2020 was bad) but good gravy, things are ridiculous.
HHS is replacing mom with ‘birthing person’? Seriously?
C’mon man!

Megyn Kelly’s response is just perfect.
Biden admin eliminates the term “mom” in favor of “birthing people.” Mom is not an offensive word & those claiming otherwise are not the broader trans community but unhinged woke propagandists & their self-flagellating “allies.” https://t.co/v3NG7HpeJW

Self-flagellating allies.
We are so using that.
Heh.
The greatest blessing of my life has been to be a Mom and Grandma. Those names hold much more meaning than that I gave birth.

Replacing "mom" with "birthing person" means you are a "kook"
