Negotiating the tricky post-gender modern world without causing offence: your guide to inclusive language, courtesy of the Queer Parenting Program at Toronto's 519 Church Street Community Centre. Just one of their resources for gender-creative kids (via b&w):

Inclusive language we use to honour people’s sexual orientation and gender complexities in families, based on the bodies, identities and creativity of our communities:

Pregnancy and Birth

Pregnant person
Person who gives or gave birth / Birthing Parent
Pregnancy Leave (vs Maternity Leave)
Parental Leave (vs Paternity Leave)
Carrier Mortality (vs Maternal Mortality)
Birth Canal (vs Vagina)
Chest Feeding / Breast Feeding (vs just Breast Feeding)
Human Milk (vs. Breast Milk)

Chest feeding? Carrier mortality?

[Those terms in brackets, you will have gathered, represent the old style fuddy-duddy offensive terminology which lacks inclusivity and is therefore not to be used in progressive gender-fluid circles.]

It gets better.

Children

Gender Independent / Gender Non-Conforming / Gender Creative a term, currently applied to children, that really reflects anyone’s learned fear and shame about a child (or adult) whose interests, behaviours or emerging identities do not conform to a rigid and limited notion of permissible gendered behaviours based on how that person/child’s sex was diagnosed at birth (in current Western cultures, usually only female or male based on the natal appearance or surgical manipulation of genitals)

Families
Sparkle (an older beloved one, e.g. vs Auntie or Uncle)
Sparkling (a younger beloved one)
Spuncle (a known sperm donor in the child’s life: sperm + uncle)
Spauntie (female-identified partner of a Spuncle)
Grand Spuncle / Grand Sparkle (parent/s of the Spuncle)
Polycule (number of romantically linked adults: polyamory + molecule)

If you're confused, read this eloquent corrective at b&w on why all this is not a step forward.
