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.
Sometimes a person says what they actually mean instead of what they mean to say. We call that a Freudian Dick.
Ohhh like a Freudian slip thing, I get it! I’m not sure they’ve even been trying to hide their contempt for women, disabled people, or elderly people though!
