Trump administration officials are forbidding 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."
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.
The question of how to address such issues as sexual orientation, gender identity and abortion rights - all of which received significant visibility under the Obama administration - has surfaced repeatedly in federal agencies since President Donald Trump took office. Several key departments - including Health and Human Services, which oversees CDC, as well as Justice, Education and Housing and Urban Development - have changed some federal policies and how they collect government information about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans.
In March, for example, HHS dropped questions about sexual orientation and gender identity in two surveys of elderly people.
HHS has also removed information about LGBT Americans from its website. The department's Administration for Children and Families, for example, archived a page that outlined federal services that are available for LGBT people and their families, including how they can adopt and receive help if they are the victims of sex trafficking.

Black is no longer white; up is no longer down! (Well, at least it's a START!)
MAGA!
What ever happened with fetus. Is this about fetal tissue?
My guess is that he prefers, ‘unborn BABY’ versus that ‘fetus’ stuff.
Dehumanizing a human from conception makes sense when you want to murder babies in the womb.
My cat is pregnant. Is she full of fetuses, or is she full of kittens? No one would want to harm a kitten!
See how that works? ;)
Tired of walking into what should be LADIES rooms and finding that a not so hygienic man had used the public facility before you:
A) Due to Transgender laws in the state of California, single-user restrooms which were formally designated by sex are now “Unisex.”
B) Ecological “concerns” have forced businesses to opt out of stocking up on paper towels and using electric hand dryers instead. Quite unhygienic.
Rather unfair to public health if you ask me.
Great! The left cannot be allowed to use discrimination and idiocy to own the narrative. Winning!
The only word the LIB idiots want to currently ban is “lunatic” because it describes all of them so succinctly.
Good. These phrases are for the most part meaningless and simply exist to signal leftist virtue.
“Rather unfair to public health if you ask me.”
But, but...DIVERSITY is our STRENGTH! So what if gay men spread HIV/AIDS like wildfire? So what if Third Worlders come here and don’t understand the concept of indoor plumbing or basic hygiene?
Who are YOU to judge? You’re a homophobic xenophobe! Off to the Re-Education Camp with you! *SMIRK*
(I find it gross, too. There are very few public toilets I will even use in my daily rounds. Blech!)

Sexual orientation, gender identity and abortion rights are terms unfathomable to the sane individual.
All Living beings have a sex that is permanently encoded in every cell of their body, and “gender” is inapplicable to any living creature.
Nouns can have ‘gender.’ Pronouns can have gender. Nuts, bolts and pipe fittings have gender. plugs on extension cords have gender.
I’m thankful to Yehova that I do not have ‘gender.’

“These phrases are for the most part meaningless and simply exist to signal leftist virtue.”
Exactly! I never have heard the term, ‘Virtue Signalling’ until President Trump came along. It’s obvious now, to me, what a line we’ve been being fed by the Left so they can promote their insanity!
Huh?
What is her thread pitch? Is he a grade 8?
Funny, I caught the tail end of this story on the news yesterday. I assumed these forbidden words were holdovers from the Obama administration.
.
Maybe he’s an old Chevy transmission that has Grade Retard!

You mean Festus? They guy in Gun Smoke???

Languages have gender, German and English have three.
Languages (some) require gender for nouns, pronouns, and modifiers.
How queer, President Obama banned “war on terror” and other words and phrases and the media did not castigate him as they are doing on Fakebook and elsewhere. Yep, newest “evidence” Trump is a NAZI.
No?
Well if they require it, that means they have it.
7 words, but not George Carlin.
You do realize this is 99% probably a totally fake report made to to cause this exact reaction you had.
