Summary
FDA scientists have been instructed to avoid using words like “woman,” “disabled,” and “elderly” in external communications, per a leaked list circulating within the agency.
The directive, reportedly linked to Trump’s executive order against “gender ideology,” has caused confusion and concern.
The White House denies most words are banned but confirms restrictions on terms related to gender and diversity.
Scientists fear these limits will hinder medical research and public health efforts.
An idiot fills the room with words.
I will continue to say “perfect must not be the enemy of good”.
These asshats wanted perfect without understanding the complexity behind getting perfect. Good change does not happen overnight. It happens slowly over multiple smaller good changes.
Good luck with that incremental change. It lost 2 of the last 3 elections and seems to not mind losing after crying about facsism.
Incremental change is happening whether you like it or not. History has shown the world is moving in a direction you don’t like whether you like it or not. Things like interracial marriage aren’t going anywhere regardless of how much your bigoted ass winges about it.
