George Orwell would have been the first to admit that by controlling language you can control people's attitudes. The government has been doing that for years with code phrases like "Abortion" (also known as ending the life of a baby) and "Earned Income Tax Credit" (also known as welfare).
But now liberals are getting upset that President Trump is ripping several pages from their new-speak lexicon. The Trump administration is prohibiting officials at the nation’s top public health agency from using a list of seven words or phrases — including “fetus” and “transgender” — in any official documents being prepared for next year’s budget.
Policy analysts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta were told of the list of forbidden words at a meeting Thursday with senior CDC officials who oversee the budget, according to an analyst who took part in the 90-minute briefing. The forbidden words are “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “diversity,” “transgender,” “fetus,” “evidence-based” and “science-based.”
....“certain words” in the CDC’s budget drafts were being sent back to the agency for correction. Three words that had been flagged in these drafts were “vulnerable,” “entitlement” and “diversity.” Let's look at these words one at a time.

The opposite of "diversity" - "gentrification" - is considered a bad thing, because while "diverse" ethnic cleansing is considered positive, the opposite, putting too much cream in the coffee, so to speak, is not. What can replace "diversity"? How about "banishment of white men"? It's wordy, but again, it's accurate.

I prefer to use "Mrs. Bill Clinton" because it's a subtle reminder that she is nothing without Bill.
Actually, the correct term is ‘transvestite’ - someone who dresses and acts like the opposite sex.
Transgender is something like ‘el basura’, where the correct article is ‘la’.
Yes of course........ I tried but I couldn’t get the word transvestite to surface
