CNN: Women are now known as 'individuals with a cervix'

[Counselor706]

CNN effectively erased the reality of biological females in its coverage of the American Cancer Society’s recommendation that women undergo cervical cancer screenings at age 25 rather than 21.

The beginning of CNN’s coverage*reads:

Individuals with a cervix are now recommended to start cervical cancers screening at 25 and continue through age 65, with the primary human papillomavirus (HPV) testing every five years as the preferred method of testing, according to a new guideline released Thursday by the American Cancer Society.

CNN’s use of sex-neutral language appears to align with the Trans Journalists Association’s guidelines, which*advise*journalists to “avoid equating gender and anatomy in your coverage.” Instead, journalists should use sex-neutral terms in the name of inclusivity, using phrases such as “people with ovaries, people with prostates, people who can get pregnant.” Such language is precisely what CNN utilized.

Bunch of nonsense, if you ask me.

Way to many words there. I'll stick with woman or the other gender equivalents.

History will show the Aretha Franklin sang a song titled, You Make Me Feel Like An Individual With a Cervix.

The only place I read about CNN is here. "Thanks" for that.
