BBC Presenter Martine Croxall Sparks Debate Over “Pregnant People” vs. “Women” Terminology | Live Broadcast Clip

During a live BBC News broadcast on June 22, 2025, presenter Martine Croxall made headlines after she verbally adjusted a script referencing “pregnant people,” instead saying “women” with clear emphasis.

The original line came from a London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine study on heat-related risks during pregnancy. The moment quickly went viral, sparking a wave of reactions on social media.

Public figures like J.K. Rowling praised Croxall’s phrasing, while others expressed concern about the exclusion of transgender men and non-binary people who can also become pregnant.

This viral moment has reignited debate about inclusive language, journalistic responsibility, and how media platforms balance clarity with representation.

What do you think: Should journalists stick to inclusive language like “pregnant people,” or was Croxall right to say “women”? Let us know in the comments.
