Ethical Language Guidance

Gender History

Informal/slang term for female breasts. Carries cultural baggage around sexualization and infantilization of women's bodies versus neutral medical terminology.

Inclusive Usage

In clinical contexts, use 'breasts' or anatomical terms. In informal contexts, recognize the term's reductive history and consider whether the reference is necessary or objectifying.

Inclusive Alternatives

["breasts","chest"]
