In its 2022 fiscal year budget released recently, the US government has replaced the word ‘mothers’ with ‘birthing people’ in a section. The term ‘birthing people’ is from the realm of trans-rights activism, and is a step towards making vocabularies less rigid in terms of gender.
Soon after US government’s decision, the popular porn site Pornhub too followed suit and changed the name of its one of the most watched categories, MILF (Mother I Like TO Fuck) to BPILF (Birthing People I Like To Fuck).
Pornhub’s decision was celebrated by its viewers and subscribers who identify themselves as pronouns. Sources suggest that many brands are now shifting to more gender neutral terms in their dictionaries. Famous coffee chain, Starbucks is using Menu less often and is replacing the term with “Kard” misspell of Card.
