Summary
The CDC has ordered its scientists to withdraw or pause pending research papers for review by the Trump administration, which is enforcing a ban on terms like “gender,” “LGBT,” and “pregnant person.”
An internal email revealed that all manuscripts, even those already accepted for publication, must comply.
Reuters confirmed the directive, which follows broader federal efforts to remove references to gender identity from government materials.
Critics warn the policy could hinder scientific integrity, as even demographic terms like “gender” may be censored.
How is this not a violation of the 1st amendment? Or are we done pretending the Constitution matters?
The USA ended on Jan 20. It’s now Fascistan.
Didn’t you get any of the memos sent from sketchy insecure servers, DOGE, etc?

We’re done pretending the constitution matters
The government can censor itself, this isnt something new. But it is a great example of how people dont understand how the us government works.
Best we can do is spend a decade in court getting up to the SCROTUS where you would then lose.
“To enforce censorship”
“Forbidden terms” is cenenting the idea that we cant say words like gender. So people wont refer to the people who disappear.
