Controversial charity Stonewall urged the Bank of England to use more gender neutral terms after praising it for referring to mothers as a “birthing parent.”

Documents seen by The Epoch Times show how the central bank received a 12-page “feedback” report from the LGBT lobby group after it introduced the controversial terminology—which suggests people of any gender can become pregnant—in to its official family leave policy.
