Trumpian Idiots Command the Center for Disease Control

The basic notion is that if you ban a name, then what the word names will cease to exist. We banned the N-word, for instance. I won’t use it. But racism in America has, in some key ways, gotten worse in the last few years, not better. Feminists have been attempting for 50 years to end sexism in our pronouns, but the pronouns and sexism persist.

This history came to mind because recently the Center for Disease Control has banned the use (in its documents) of the terms “fetus,” “science-based” and “transgender.” This is Orwellian idiocy. Apparently the fish brain in charge at the CDC  believes that if we don’t have a word for a fetus, people will no longer seek abortions. Never mind that women have been getting abortions since humanity was invented (that might be nearly 6,143 years ago, according to the leadership at the non-science-based CDC).

Here’s the point.  Our species had children before we had a name for children. Things exist before we invent names for them, and they linger after the names have been banned. 

And how long have civilians who owned individual brain stems known this fact? At least 500 years.  “What's in a name? that which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet.”
