In a recent broadcast, BBC presenter Martine Croxall refused to use the term “pregnant people,” replacing it with “women.” Her decision came during a report on vulnerable groups in heatwaves and sparked widespread online discussion.
Croxall has been known to challenge gender-neutral language and stated a belief in binary sex categories. Her on-air choice was praised by some for clarity and criticized by others for lack of inclusiveness.
The episode reflects broader societal discussions about gendered language, media responsibility, and respect for diversity.
