Anyone else notice the CDC's recommendation that "pregnant people" get vaccinated? I picked up on the word choice right away and wondered if it was chosen on purpose to be inclusive or just a random choice. That was yesterday. Today I saw fexnews jump on it and spin it so horribly. Ugh.

I noticed the wording and smiled as well. I’m not surprised the idiots at Fox were upset, fucking snowflakes. God forbid we acknowledge that it’s not only women who carry children.
I think it was unquestionably an effort to be inclusive of trans and non-binary folks.
The article I saw specifically talked about how all pregnant people - whether they identify as women or not - were at increased risk from COVID. If the goal is to get people vaccinated, the people who would feel excluded by "pregnant women" aren't exactly the people listening to fox and getting upset. So success.
