I would hope that one is not seriously being considered as a replacement for the other. Having terms that better meet the needs of the individual are fine but to decree that because some people want a different term should mean all people have to to use a different term is wrong.

It is, it is now policy in the maternity wards.
I'm not sure what's more entertaining, the new policies or the Daily Mail outrage.

I would prefer the "Health professionals" would avoid playing Russian roulette with infections. I don't know of any biological women dying because the nurse didn't teach them chest feeding. However > 30% of Covid infections are hospital acquired like MRSA used to be.

Sounds like you want to justify being outraged on a completely trivial matter.
Being outraged is good though, allows you to get on a soap box and deliver sanctimonious lectures.
Urgent and sweeping changes are needed in all English hospitals to prevent avoidable baby deaths, stillbirths and neonatal brain damage, a damning report into one of the biggest scandals in the history of the NHS has said. It uncovers a pattern of grim failures at Shrewsbury and Telford hospitals (SaTH) that led to the deaths and harming of mothers and babies from 2000-2019. These included a lethal reluctance to conduct caesarean sections; a tendency to blame mothers for problems; a failure to handle complex cases; a lack of consultant oversight, and a “deeply worrying lack of kindness and compassion”.
Prof Baker said at the "root" of the problems is "a significant cultural" issue of "defensiveness", with 38% of maternity services "requiring improvement for safety". "Defensiveness leads to things not being transparent and units not willing to apologise when things go wrong," he told the committee's review into the safety of maternity services.
we have real problems talking about chesticles is hardly helping!
Other NHS trusts will aspire to continuously make improvements, whereas the NHS trusts mired in scandals will no doubt continue with outdated practices such as "breast-feeding".
