The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) has come under fire for yielding to the forces of political correctness, issuing an apology for using the term \u201ccervix\u201d in its health guidelines aimed at LGBTQ+ community members who are biologically female, according to a report by True North<\/a>.<\/p>\n This move reflects a concerning trend of medical institutions caving to the pressures of \u2018woke\u2019 culture, sacrificing clarity and accuracy in health communications for the sake of political correctness.<\/p>\n \u201cAnyone with a cervix can get cervical cancer. Almost all cervical cancer cases are due to HPV infection<\/a>. HPV is spread through sexual contact including sexual intercourse, genital skin-to-skin contact and oral sex, regardless of gender or sexual orientation\u2026 If you have a cervix and have ever had sexual contact with anyone, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, you should start having regular Pap tests by the time you\u2019re 25,\u201d the website<\/a> reads.<\/p>\n The charity mentioned the word \u201ccervix\u201d eight times on its website, including a disclaimer explaining their choice of language.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The disclaimer indicated that while the term \u201ccervix\u201d is medically accurate, it might not resonate with or be embraced by all readers, acknowledging that terms like \u201cfront hole\u201d might be preferred by some.<\/p>\n \u201cWe recognize that many trans men and non-binary people may have mixed feelings about or feel distanced from words like \u201ccervix.\u201d You may prefer other words, such as \u201cfront hole.\u201d We recognize the limitations of the words we\u2019ve used while also acknowledging the need for simplicity. Another reason we use words like \u201ccervix\u201d is to normalize the reality that men can have these body parts too,\u201d the disclaimer reads.<\/p>\n The Gateway Pundit<\/a> previously reported that a cervical cancer trust was also under fire for disgustingly suggesting that people call vaginas \u201cbonus holes\u201d to avoid offending transgender people.<\/p>\n Jo\u2019s Cervical Cancer Trust, based in the UK,\u00a0suggested<\/a>\u00a0the language in 2020 \u2014 but it just went viral after it was noticed by people and posted to Twitter.<\/p>\n \u201cBonus hole \u2013 an alternative word for the vagina. It is important to check which words someone would prefer to use,\u201d the glossary on the trust\u2019s website states.<\/p>\n British gender-critical writer Julie Burchill accused LGBT activists of erasing women by adopting terms such as \u201cbonus hole\u201d and \u201cfront hole\u201d as trans-friendly alternatives to \u201cvagina.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBoth \u2018bonus hole\u2019 and \u2018front hole\u2019 are recommended as trans-friendly alternatives to vagina. Trans ideologues have long tried to erase or appropriate any word that is specific to females \u2013 from woman to mother and now vagina. And they have gained a foothold in our schools and in our media. Now gynaecological-health providers are swallowing the stupid pills, too,\u201d Burchill wrote in a 2023 essay, according to True North.<\/p>\n More from the Daily Mail<\/a>:<\/p>\n Many commenters quickly flocked to social media to respond to the non-profit\u2019s stance.<\/p>\n \u2018Cervix! I have a damn cervix. This is just gross. You will never receive another donation from me,\u2019 one said.<\/p>\n Another wrote: \u2018How uncaring are you to ignore the identity, biology amd [sic] feelings of people who actually have a cervix. You need to be ashamed.\u2019<\/p>\n Tom Quiggin, a former military intelligence officer and intelligence contractor for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, also commented on the statement.<\/p>\n \u2018It may be time to walk away from the Canadian Cancer Society. They have lost the plot,\u2019 Quiggin said on Friday.<\/p>\n Another commenter said: \u2018I guess the Canadian Cancer Society doesn\u2019t want our donations. Why else would they insult women like that.\u2019<\/p>\n The viral Twitter account Libs of TikTok also said that the charity\u2019s statement was \u2018beyond parody.\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018UNREAL. In order to be \u201cinclusive,\u201d the Canadian Cancer Society will no longer use the term \u201ccervix\u201d and instead us the term \u201cfront hole\u201d. Beyond parody,\u2019 the account said.<\/p>\n The post Top Cancer Charity Apologizes for Using \u2018Cervix\u2019 to Describe Female Body Part Instead of Trans-Inclusive Term \u2018Front Hole\u2019<\/a> appeared first on The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Credit: Getty Images The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) has come under fire for yielding to the forces of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30443","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\n
