Top cancer charity apologizes for using word 'cervix' instead of trans-friendly 'front hole'

[DukeU]

Like playing the mind game of saying this person or that person doesn’t know what it like and be…..

Or are those mind games different

Yes, a man doesn't know what it's like to be a woman and visa versa.

It's impossible.

 

[Lord-Humungus]

Yes, a man doesn't know what it's like to be a woman and visa versa.

It's impossible.

Unless he lives his life as a woman and experiences it then he will know and visa versa.

 

[Missourian]

The only mentally ill people here are those denying that gender is a thing

Gender is a thing...it is shorthand for biological sex. Always has been until some bored, first world nutcases co-opted the term to justify their mental illness.

 

[Oddball]

Unless he lives his life as a woman and experiences it then he will know and visa versa.

Basic biology obviates that alleged "experience".

 

[DukeU]

Unless he lives his life as a woman and experiences it then he will know and visa versa.

Again???

He will only know what it's like being a man CLAIMING to be a woman.

He's not a woman, and doesn't know what it's like to be a woman.

So no, he doesn't have experience being a woman.

 

[BackAgain]

My horrendous punctuation may make me a bad speller your denial of gender makes you a bad person. And wrong

No. You suck at grammar as well as punctuation.

And denying your false claims (and your deliberate conflation of gender and sex) makes me a much better person than you will ever be.

And, of course, I’m also right.

You are wrong, odious and a charlatan.

 

[Lord-Humungus]

Again???

He will only know what it's like being a man CLAIMING to be a woman.

He's not a woman, and doesn't know what it's like to be a woman.

So no, he doesn't have experience being a woman.

You don’t know that. You’re just putting your view of life onto them. You don’t have a clue what their experience is like

 

[Oddball]

My horrendous punctuation may make me a bad speller your denial of gender makes you a bad person. And wrong

You don't get to say he's a bad person.....He "feels" that he's the outstandingest person who ever lived, who gets to share a brain with two other outstandingest guys, and you have no say-so in the matter....His "feelings" and "experience" beat all ass on your shitty little inconsequential opinion!

 

[DukeU]

You don’t know that. You’re just putting your view of life onto them. You don’t have a clue what their experience is like

Show me one person born as a biological male that has ever gave birth.

Or one person born as a biological female who has caused another female to become pregnant.

I'll wait.

 

[Lord-Humungus]

Show me one person born as a biological male that has ever gave birth.

Or one person born as a biological female who has caused another female to become pregnant.

I'll wait.

So if a biological woman doesn’t give birth she isn’t a real woman with real woman experiences and if a biological male doesn’t impregnate a woman he’s isn’t a real male with real male experiences? That’s really what you are trying to argue

 

[Oddball]

You don’t know that.

Neither do you.

You’re just putting your view of life onto them.

Irony is sooo....ironic.

You don’t have a clue what their experience is like

Neither do you, so STFU.

 

[DukeU]

So if a biological woman doesn’t give birth she isn’t a real woman with real woman experiences and if a biological male doesn’t impregnate a woman he’s isn’t a real male with real male experiences? That’s really what you are trying to argue

Nope, you're spinning.

Still waiting.

[Carl in Michigan]

You seem really focused on kids using the restroom.

No, we just want freaks like you to stay the hell out

 

[Lord-Humungus]

Nope, you're spinning.

Still waiting.

You are the one who is trying to claim those are the experiences men and women have so if someone doesn’t experience them what are they?

 

[JOSweetHeart]

Wow, what technical term will be done away with next and what made up phrase will take its place?

God bless you always!!!

[Slade3200]

Seriously?

Unfortunately, yes. And again, caving in to these people just encourages them to continue. Only when Cisco Systems told Jesse Jackson to pound sand did his grift finally end, after decades of Jackson playing the same game old shakedown game.

Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.

A top cancer charity has apologized for using the word 'cervix' instead of trans-friendly 'front hole.'

The Canadian Cancer Society, which is run by philanthropist Andrea Seale, acknowledged the LGBTQ+ community on a webpage dedicated to cervical cancer, under the page's 'words matter' section.

The non-profit said that 'many' non-binary people and transgender men have 'mixed feelings' or 'feel distanced' from the term cervix.

'We recognize that many trans men and non-binary people may have mixed feelings about or feel distanced from words like "cervix",' the statement said.

'You may prefer other words, such as “front hole.” We recognize the limitations of the words we’ve used while also acknowledging the need for simplicity. Another reason we use words like “cervix” is to normalize the reality that men can have these body parts too.'

Cancer charity replaces the word 'cervix' with 'front hole'

The Canadian Cancer Society issued a statement that said that the charity will no longer use the word 'cervix,' and will instead refer to it as 'front hole' to respect the transgender community.

I just read the homepage, they didn’t apologize for using the word cervix. Yall really need to figure out a way to be honest. These troll threads are pathetic

I did double take to check and be sure I wasn't in the political satire forum.

You are the one being dishnest.

That is an apology.

It’s weird. Men have no cervix. (Except to the extent that it might be used for “neck.” But below the belt, men have no cervix whatsoever.)

So, if they own anybody an apology, it’s all of us. For lying.
