You may be new to the language, but as any native speaker will tell you "partner" in the context of that comment referred to a romantic partner.
Fantastic response.
Yes, in situations like this I prefer to keep things androgenous. I don't talk much about the gender of my kid or spouse.
Why not? Self important much? No one knows not cares about your spouses gender. In fact, why not call them spouse? So Leftist pretentious of you.
I’m not a new speaker. This is just a pretentious leftist invention because they don’t like wife or husband or boyfriend or girlfriend for some arrogant “I’m better than you because I use this.”
My spouse (partner) should avoid those that put their own misconceptions about health science ahead of the greater good. Thankfully, those people tend to advertise loudly and are often easy to stay away from. We can't avoid every danger but we don't have to stand on well marked landmines. I feel like that's a fantastic lesson most kids lear: don't stick your hand in the fire on purpose.
