The CDC has begun removing from its website words and pages relating to diversity, gender identity, or LGBTQ issues, according to several sources.

"From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word," wrote Deborah Blum, director of MIT's Knight Science Journalism program, on Blueskyopens in a new tab or window. "The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also, health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior surveyopens in a new tab or window has already gone down."

It was unclear whether the pages were being permanently deleted or just removed from public view, but a quick search showed the following pages have all gone missing and return a note indicating the "page you're looking for was not found":

• Health Disparities Among LGBTQ Youth (archived page)
• Environmental Justice | Tracking Program (archived)
• Safer Food Choices for Pregnant People (archived)
• Interim Clinical Considerations for Use of Vaccine for Mpox Prevention (archived)
• Preventing HIV (archived)
• HIV Risk Behaviors (archived)
• Fast Facts: HIV and Transgender People (archived)
• Fast Facts: HIV in the US by Race and Ethnicity (archived)

In addition, tools to estimateopens in a new tab or window and reduce the riskopens in a new tab or window of HIV were also down at the time of writing, as was a page on CDC's efforts to address racismopens in a new tab or window as a driver of health disparities.

Good that this nonsense talk is being revised.

 

In one London hospital the sign 'Birthing Centre' has  already been taken down and replaced by 'Labour Ward'. The Trump effect is here.

Last Wednesday's show,

 

 

There's no clip for Wednesday 29?

I am not a Trump fan in any shape or form but I totally agree with his sentiment in this matter - that there are only 2 genders - MALE & FEMALE. There are also both males and females that are attracted to the same sex - that doesn't change their gender.

 

I'm happy that steps are being taken to rid the US of the demands to address people differently etc.  Hopefully that will be picked up by the UK too.  I was never going to call people 'them or they' though, it is and will always be 'him or her'.
