'Alienating and derogatory.' A Gold Coast mother was outraged to discover that after delivering her child, she was asked to sign a Medicare form that referred to mothers as 'birthing parents'. 9News FULL STORY:

"Attention women in Australia: On the form to put our newborn baby on our Medicare card, we are referred to as 'birthing parent," Grover wrote.

She also told followers she scratched out the name "birthing parent" and wrote "mother" in an act of defiance. Several people pointed out the use of the term "birthing parent" does not mean she couldn't refer to herself as a "mother".

It's time for the pendulum to swing back the other way, this is ridiculous.

1. For those that think there is nothing here, think about those women who lose spots in sport, or university scholarships. because a man now identifies as a woman. Women have fought for decades to have rights and men are now taking them away again. They should be outraged.

Could be worse, like “Who Fu*ked who to cause this Child to exist.”

Our species is pathetic, we get upset about a title, but world problems from plastic, consumerist approach tot he natural world and under the table deal with poor education and lack of development focus on non tourist areas is just dandy. Who cares what temporary things call ya

So what about adopted children like my daughter. Do we have to find her birthing parent. Or could her mother sign? Not all children are raised by their birthing parents somer are luck have committed mum's and dad's dedicating themselves to them.

Makes the mum sound like a cow rather than a Mum.

What a joke, these woke lefties are out of control and must be stopped, what's most concerning is they want to sexualise primary school kids, really makes you wonder if they are kiddy fiddlers with that sort of agenda

Just more 'woke' shit. Let us all get our rights back from minority misfits of society and demonstrate for commonsense and our rights to think and to consider the dire consequences of letting fascists take over our free thinking & speech. Brisbane this Saturday!

This woke crap has to go! The left have lost their damn minds!

OMG, its just a damn form. If ur shit comes out firm & not soft. Will u sue coles? Ffs

I don't understand the logic to put birthing 'parents'. Biologically speaking it's only a WOMAN who can give birth 🤦🏽

After the story went to air, a government representative confirmed the forms will be DUMPED after a brief trial. 9News
