Breastfeeding was once the cause behind 30% of HIV infection transmissions between parent and child. But a medical advancement has changed that trend. Breastfeeding was once the cause behind 30% of HIV infection transmissions between parent and child. However, ART has made drastic improvements in the reduction of HIV transmissions.
The term “breastfeeding” is used throughout this document. We acknowledge that some people may prefer other terminology, including “chestfeeding.” Pediatric health care professionals are encouraged to assess and utilize a person’s preferred language regarding infant feeding. This guidance on infant feeding may also be used in cases of use of human milk by a nonbirthing parent with the primary goal of minimizing risk of HIV transmission to the infant.
God fucking forbid people feel comfortable or have preferences. Don’t want to rustle the jimmies of any Trump-supporters and their delicate fragile worldview. For some reason new concepts and “things not already existing in their insular orbit” makes those snowflakes want to jerk the wheel straight into fascism…
Don’t be surprised that you lose the support of the average person when you isolate yourself from them by rapidly creating new lingo.

Lingo is used by groups the world over to communicate about complex topics quickly. A side effect of this is that use of lingo excludes those who aren’t familiar with the terms. In most settings (like workplaces) this is a necessary evil and newcomers quickly catch on and the language is not a barrier to them being a part of the group while everyone communicates efficiently.

Didn’t use the newest lingo? You aren’t spending enough time on the right sites and platforms. Here, this echo chamber will get you up to speed.
Did you use a term incorrectly? Here comes the negative peer pressure to keep you in line with the group.

Literally every generation creates new words, that’s what language is
