Our paper is finally out. Please don't miss the two supplementary files These are critical to get a full understanding of the argument we raise in the paper about the importance of sexed language in maternal/newborn health care. @millihill @birthsmalltalk frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

@millihill @hannahdahlen @birthsmalltalk Am I not allowed to ask a question about representation? Since the research paper clearly mentions trans people, and centers on whether or not language should include them or not. I know your opinions already, I'm curious about the author's answer.
