Pretty soon first names will be sexist. There is already a move to have gender neutral names for babies.

And remember women never lie or so we are told by the other side of the political aisle Just wait until they get power. They will be going after every ex boyfriend or male in their paths. Just like BLM teaches to go after whites with innuendos, these liberal women will stop at nothing.

I would imagine that D (rhymes with sick) will be banned even as a non-medical term since it is a male first name.

>>The word ‘hysterectomy’ originated from a time when women were treated for female hysteria by removing the uterus.<<

Given this nut case, “hysterectomy” would be removal of her brain (5 mins at most).

Anyone who talks like this should be slapped. Woke-speak is not acceptable.

During the French revolution of 1789 when the progressives took over, they even renamed the months and days of the week.

History is repeating.

I can only imagine the quality of the next generation of medical school grads, who will spend more time learning about political correctness instead of actual medicine. Ideology trumps physiology!

All body parts should be named after Marxist revolutionary heros—everybody knows that!
