<p>African Americans are critical of the medical community&#8217;s efforts to embrace “gender neutral” terms that promote transgender ideology, according to a new poll.</p>
<p>The results from the poll, which was conducted by Ingram Market Research on behalf of <a href="https://donoharmmedicine.org/">Do No Harm</a>, comes as a growing number of doctors embrace new language to reflect the core tenets of left-wing gender theory.</p>
<p>The poll found that black adults were overwhelmingly critical of the term “birthing person,” which has recently been adopted by practitioners who believe men can become women, and thus have children. Nearly 93 percent of black adults said that they prefer the term “mother” to “birthing person.” Among women, 91 percent said that they prefer the term mother, while 94.9 percent of men agreed.</p>
<p>Do No Harm senior fellow Benita Cotton-Orr commented on the polling results, telling The Daily Wire that prioritizing competence is the “only way to restore the trust” in the medical field.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>&#8220;Our polling proves that the ideologues pushing nonsensical identity politics in medicine are out of touch with the very people they claim to speak for. Black Americans are rejecting the push to redefine race and gender in medicine in furtherance of a progressive political agenda,” Cotton-Orr explained. “The data proves that, like patients of all backgrounds, minority patients want doctors that are highly-qualified and don&#8217;t indulge in identity politics. Prioritizing medical excellence for patients&#8217; individual needs is the only way to restore the trust that has been eroded.&#8221;</p>
<p>A full 63.5 percent of respondents said that they would be “much less likely” or “somewhat less likely” to trust medical professionals who replace the word “mother” with “birthing person” or “people with uteruses.”</p>
<p>Black adults were widely opposed to the term “chestfeeding&#8221; as an alternative to “breastfeeding.” Black adults preferred the term “breastfeeding” by a margin of 93.6 percent to 6.4 percent.</p>
<p>The poll of 500 black adults found that medical professionals do themselves no favors among the demographic when they introduce themselves with their pronouns.</p>
<p>“Some medical professionals have started introducing themselves with their pronouns, such as ‘she/her,’ ‘they/them,’ or ‘ze/zir,’ and having their pronouns listed on their nametags,” the poll explains. “Would you be more or less comfortable having medical professionals as your health care providers if they introduced themselves with their pronouns?”</p>
<p>Nearly half of respondents, 48.2 percent, say that the practice would make them “much less” or “somewhat less” comfortable, while another 33.7 percent say it would have no effect. Only 18.1 percent say that they would be “much more” or “somewhat more” comfortable.</p>
<p>The poll also found that black adults care about medical professionals&#8217; skill more than their race. Just over 88 percent of respondents say that it is more important for a medical professional to be “highly competent.”</p>
