The American Cancer Society has been slammed for using the phrase 'individuals with a cervix' in its latest pap screening advice, rather than women. Cervical cancer screening is now recommended to start at 25, instead of 21, and HPV testing should begin at 25 rather than 30. The guidelines were last updated in 2012. The ACS has used 'individuals with a cervix', rather than 'women' in their guidance because transgender, non-binary and gender-nonconforming individuals can also have a cervix.

So I guess we need a new term for “Women’s Health”.

There are a lot of L-G-B that don’t like the ‘T’.................

[AppyPappy]

But men can have a cervix too

Men don’t know what it is like to have a baby
Men can have babies
Well, uh, yes, trans-men can...
Why do you say Trans-men as if they are a different type of men?
OK, yes, men can have babies
And men can have abortions and abortion is murder
You only say that because men can’t get......oh never mind

quite a bit of this PC-BS is downright moronic

The Left has attacked so many Americans that the weak minded are afraid to use the term women. Amazing.

The Society without a brain...

There are a lot of L-G-B that don’t like the ‘T’.................

Why is that? Is it simply because they don't want to share the victim status, the limelight, or is it something else?

My wife has a friend that got her car stolen.

The friend saw the person.

She put out a message on Facebook and to relatives about this.

She self-censored the race of the individual but was willing to mention the sex. So we can narrow it down to about 160,000,000 people. LOL

I’m sure the police will get more details from her, but the point is that this PC nonsense is so pervasive that most people engage in it because they want to be “good people” and not be racist, sexist, xenophobic, or homophobic. But it’s gotten to the point where it’s dysfunctional in that it suppresses information and creates false realities. That of course leads to poor decision making.

And God made them two, male and female (man and woman). Political Correctness is for Fidiots!!

They don’t consider them to be one of them.....................

Persons with a cervix makes perfect sense if the article’s writer is being paid by the word.

This one's cervix is right next to its esophagus...

"Some people, however, leapt to the defense of the ACS and CNN. They argued that it was 'the correct way to phrase that statement' to make it inclusive and inoffensive."

Probably 90% of NORMAL people are OFFENDED by this bull crap. Maybe 1% or 2% of population is deviants are offended. So why do the 1% or 2% get to change the langue and piss off the 90%? It's time to reclaim sanity!
