The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) has come under fire for yielding to the forces of political correctness, issuing an apology for using the term “cervix” in its health guidelines aimed at LGBTQ+ community members who are biologically female, according to a report by True North.
This move reflects a concerning trend of medical institutions caving to the pressures of ‘woke’ culture, sacrificing clarity and accuracy in health communications for the sake of political correctness.
Don’t dignify their stupidity by playing along with their game.
Even in ‘woke speak’ I don’t think this constitutes remotely correct terminology...I assume that most ‘trans women’ don’t even know what a cervix is.
Wish they would all shut their front holes.
How the hell did these creeps get this much power. To the point of corrupting medical terminology.
medical terminology needs to be precise for obvious reasons
this is not
There is no relationship between a cervix, which is the tiny opening in the uterus, and a “front hole”, which I suspect is the opening to the urethra. I suspect that the cancer charity got pranked. Also if they are truly a cancer charity, they would know a little bit about the cancer they are raising money off of.
It connects the vagina and uterus.
On a similar note...
Doctors are being told to not use the term ‘penis’...
and to instead refer to that part as...
the ‘fourth limb between a male’s larger bottom limbs”
Have to fact check the science on that one.
Anthony Fauci is science.
So obviously not front hole, but very close.
They've held quite a bit of power for over 20 years.
Read the Merck Manual from 20 years ago and you'll find plenty of leftist drivel just like you see today.
Since the trannies have neither, they are offended that you have noticed that; so, you cannot use the medical term "cervix".
I'm with the poster who asked how did these people get so much power.
But wait…will medical journals now discuss screening, diagnosis and treatment of Front-Hole cancer?
If someone insists on an exam…stick that speculum where the sun never shines!
“The fourth limb”, aren’t we missing something?
It’s GP, so who even knows if it’s true as printed. But so many of the ‘woke’ crown are so ignorant of so much, nonsense stories like this have become believable.
Words matterUsing words like cervix to normalize the reality? By that illogic, I suppose the Canadian Cancer Society also uses prostate to normalize the reality that women can have a prostate, too.We recognize that many trans men and non-binary people may have mixed feelings about or feel distanced from words like “cervix.” You may prefer other words, such as “front hole.” We recognize the limitations of the words we’ve used while also acknowledging the need for simplicity. Another reason we use words like “cervix” is to normalize the reality that men can have these body parts too.
Sounds like an emergency restoration company
Someone needs to translate that to English.
AOCs cherry was pushed so far back she could use it as a tail light
