We're not sure if the Democrats in the New York State legislature coordinated this with Pride Month. Remember when the Biden administration tried changing all instances of "mother" to "birthing person"? In New York, Democrats have placed a bill on Gov. Kathy Hochul's desk that would change "mother" to "gestating parent" in state child custody laws.
This is INSANE

Democrats NY have passed a bill changing terms such as "mother" and "father" to "gestating parent" and "non-gestating parent."
It will now head to Gov Kathy Hochul to be signed into law.

The New York Post reports:
A woke new bill erases the terms “mother” and “father” from state child custody and parental laws — a gender-neutral rewriting that’s expected to spark a flood of similarly clunky legislation.
“Mother” would be replaced with “gestating parent” while “father” becomes “non-gestating parent” or “parent” in family court along with in domestic and education law, under the legislation, passed this week by state Democrats.
“Paternity” proceedings to determine a child’s biological father would meanwhile become “parentage” cases, under the bill, which was rammed through the Assembly in March and of the Senate this week.
We guess that Hochul and New York Democrats didn't get the word that we're done doing this.
Women are uterus neighbors and transgender men are real women 🙄

The democrats are dangerously insane.

"My neighbor with a uterus is the gestating parent in this custody case."
I will actively campaign against these monsters this year. They will not erase womanhood.

Looking forward to the next time @GovKathyHochul refers to herself as a "mother." Hope someone corrects her.

All so men masquerading as women with vile fetishes aren't offended.

Rewrite language for 1% of population seems legit.
Does this mean they are stating there IS a gender which can't get pregnant? That seems contrary to everything they preach.

They're just recognizing that a "man" may be the gestating parent.
I am a mother of four. Labeling me a gestational person reduces me to an incubator and erases much that motherhood entails. It’s inaccurate and demeaning.

Since women only gestate during pregnancy and breastfeeding the baby, this term is highly inaccurate. Parents are MOTHERS and FATHERS.

This is just garbage! The state of the Democrat party in New York is mind-boggling. They want to completely destroy the traditional nuclear family and replace it with clinical, dystopian nonsense.

White liberal gestating and non-gestating people are out of control.

The Post adds that "a 'putative father' — also known as a deadbeat dad — would now be called 'an alleged parent' in official state records, under the bill."
An alleged parent.
Of course, Hochul will sign this.
