A Dr. Phil guest who described themself as a “non-binary birthing person” told the host that giving birth did not make them a “mother.”
“I do not identify as a mother,” the guest, identified as Danny, told host Phil McGraw, 72, on Wednesday’s episode while describing the “spiritual experience” of giving birth.
This sparked a debate among guests on the show with women’s activist Kara Dansky claiming that the movement diminishes the idea of womanhood and female accomplishments through history. However, a fellow guest, HIV and trans activist Chandi Moore, argued that trans women who identified as women would only help, rather than hurt, the women’s movement.That’s when Danny offered a third perspective.
“When I was pregnant, I had very little support outside of my community as a birthing person because of the lack of inclusive language,” Danny declared. “Inclusive language isn’t just about language. It’s about opening doors. It’s about safety. It’s about creating space for others.”“We want to join you in your fight because we know what it feels like to be erased every single day,” claimed Danny. “And I would not wish that upon anybody.
