CDC gets list of forbidden words: Fetus, transgender, diversity

The Trump administration is prohibiting HHS agencies from using certain words and phrases in official documents being prepared for the 2018 budget.

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 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 terms 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 terms are “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “diversity,” “transgender,” “fetus,” “evidence-based” and “science-based.”

In some instances, the analysts were given alternative phrases. Instead of “science-based” or *“evidence-based,” the suggested phrase is “CDC bases its recommendations on science in consideration with community standards and wishes,” the person said. In other cases, no replacement words were immediately offered.

What would a couple be supposed to do if they had a vulnerable, transgender fetus and needed to rely on entitlements to help the child once it was born? Would the Trump administration be in denial of science based evidence which would help such a child and allow us to accept more readily such diversity? ;)

Chucky? What Chucky? I don't see any Chucky.

Brent, that was (obviously) an attempt to use all the banned terms within a couple of lines, and pretty successfully if I say so myself. A fetus could be hermaphroditic, which might result in a transgender identity in regards to the child's genetic configuration, and perhaps medical procedures to make the person's appearance match his or her identity, so, while technically, transgender people are not fetuses, the fetus might have the makings of a transgender person already present. In fact, many researchers think that both sexual orientation and sexual identity are already being programmed into the brains of fetuses one way or another by events that happen during fetal development. Usually, the developing brain is programmed so that genetic gender matches with both sexual orientation and sexual identity, but not always. Events after birth may also affect gender identity, so it's probably not as simple as things like hormonal influences during pregnancy.

Having one's feeling [sic] hurt would require having at least a couple of brain cells to rub together.

You don't qualify, Lotney.

Not completely sure how you get a 'transgender' fetus?
