River 124,907 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 36 minutes ago, Jackaroo said: human embryos are all female-default. dead babies can also have a given name and assigned gender, so referring them as ‘it’ is 100% tone-deaf. It's not a baby yet ""It" is the standard, objective pronoun used in medical settings, particularly early in development, because the embryo is often seen as a developing organism rather than a person with established identity."" If you don't know the gender then you use "it" or "the embryo" "the fetus". So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't know the gender then you use "it" or "the embryo" "the fetus". You are confusing clinical terminology with ordinary speech. Doctors might say “it” in a report; people talking about their child usually don’t. Language changes with context- rather basic stuff, really.

I gave both examples when u don’t know the gender, it’s fine to refer to the embryo or the fetus as “it” So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the sex of a human is unknown, people commonly say "they." Acting as though "it" is the correct pronoun for a human embryo is simply your preference, not a rule.

When the sex of a human is unknown, people commonly say "they." Acting as though "it" is the correct pronoun for a human embryo is simply your preference, not a rule. I mean, an embryo is not a "human" yet, it's not he or she or them, it's a "it", when the mother knows the gender, then she can choose to assign a pronounce to it. Also, people can say wtf they want without someone unrelated being offended or over analyze them.. zara didn't do say anything wrong.. this whole thing that people are finding something to be offended by at all cost is oh so tiring. like have fun, it's supposed to be a funny / ick / cringe respond to a trend on social media..
