(FOX NEWS) – The AP Style Guide recently made an update to its inclusive language protocols, adding the phrase “pregnant people” to cover trans or nonbinary people who can get pregnant but don’t identify as women.
On Wednesday, Associated Press reporter Kimberlee Kruesi – who announces her pronouns in her Twitter bio – alerted Twitter to the new guidance. She tweeted, “New AP style guidance alert” and shared a screenshot of the update. The entry gave a newly defined usage for the phrase “pregnant people,” and also included instructions on usage for the phrase “people who seek an abortion.”
It stated, “Phrasing like pregnant people or people who seek an abortion seeks to include people who have those experiences but do not identify as women, such as some transgender men and some nonbinary people.”
