Changing gendered terminology to be gender neutral.
@Discospinster I hadn't seen your first revert when I was doing the second such edit changing the gendered terminology around, I wasn't trying to war, apologies for that.

There might not have been consensus for such edits but I didn't see consensus to not to. I'll try to get census.

I would propose to change the terminology on the grounds that not everybody who the surgery applies to would identify as a woman and/or use she/her pronouns, therefore gender neutral terminology instead would be more accurate and respectful towards such a person, while not being disrespectful towards other people, gender neutral terminology is neutral, it would encompass more people and be more accurate and courteous. I don't see any reason against it, but it's entirely possible I'm missing something. 76.253.186.239 (talk) 00:59, 22 December 2022 (UTC)


 * This would be a wide-ranging change that would likely need a policy or guideline written about it, such as at MOS:GENDERID. There is discussion of so-called gendered language in medical articles at Talk:Pregnancy but as far as I know there isn't consensus to use terminology such as "pregnant person". ... disco spinster   talk  01:04, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
