We'd heard of [M]otherboard, but even after going to its website and reading the "About" page and mission statement, we're still not sure what its purpose is. Part of its mission, though, is to make the childbirth experience less-gendered, and in order to do that, you need to use less-gendered language. For example, instead of "mother," use "birthing person." Here are some more substitutions to get you going:

Elisha ~ "Birthing person"!?!?!?!? I started laughing and now I'm just appalled. My husband and none of you dudes have the parts to BIRTH A BABY!!!

I'll leave you good folks to read the rest and enlighten yourselves because it's time for my chest-feeding appointment ...
