CDC orders mass retraction and revision of submitted research across all science and medicine journals. Banned terms must be scrubbed. (Including gender, transgender, pregnant person, LGBT, and more)

I'm so sorry. I can't imagine where your head is at right now.

All people need is a focus for resistance, a group or a leader to join. Most people are disgusted by this, and despite the election result I still believe most people would rather see trans people happy than suffering. And as the visibility of trans people increases, more and more cis people have been discovering that they know and care about trans people in their own lives. That's why the hateful fringe feels it's so urgent to shut trans rights down. They know they have to push people back into fear and silence before transphobia becomes uncommon. And they know they have to silence people talking about these matters to make organized resistance possible. But the quiet is largely people not knowing how to connect and resist, not a lack of desire to resist. It's time for organized resistance and the first movement that gets going will find many supporters.

We also need some organization around getting LGBTQ+ refugees out of the USA and into other countries. The restrictions on passports are very ominous.

Also, for those leaking info, please do better than the OOP of the screen shot contained in this post. Not saying this is particularly sensitive and I don’t even know if their intent was to remain anonymous. But just a reminder to think about the little things like the “You forwarded this message at 11:17” because if anyone cares, they could easily find out who forwarded that email at that time. I would guess that most government entities could pretty easily come up with justification to fire anyone based on the public dissemination of intergovernmental emails, regardless of whether the contents were specifically noted as sensitive.

I only felt compelled to comment this because this is the second post I have seen in the last day or so with an identifying feature like that. There are a lot of government employees who probably can’t stomach working under this administration, and I get it. But there is an argument to make that those of you who oppose the administrations stances can do more good from within, or at least do your best to minimize the harm that would be caused by the bootlicking henchmen you will be replaced with.

This needs more upvotes. Granted, the time to back up everything was when project 2025 hit the internet last year.

They then executed everyone with a brain. Drs, teachers, engineers, scientists, researchers, etc

There is also annas-archive.

It makes it harder to pursue science when you cannot use the terns others in ypur field use.

Unfortunately, this kind of control of language does work in the long term.

Wiping trans people from existence is easier for them to do when nobody is allowed to talk about them.

It's just the first step. You don't acknowledge they exist on paper or in speech. That makes it much easier to turn against them physically. It's still up in the air whether or not they take the final steps of making their existence illegal. I think they will.

What about Turd Ferguson?

You would think the right of all people would know that trying to ban terms will just result in new euphemisms and jargon being created.

The right thinks that if they clamp down hard enough that it will just go away, much like LGBTQ people were forced to mask and hide themselves like they had to back in the day, otherwise they ended up like Matthew Shepard. I don't know that they even consider the euphemism treadmill aspect of things, they just don't want these people to feel like they can be themselves and feel safe.

I don’t even know about corporate control here but we’re only going to get “research” that “aligns with policy”, rather than quantifying facts

Yellow star is so last world war.

It’ll definitely be pink triangles and moon and star this go around

What kind of research do you have in mind? The phrase "research against" strikes me as a bit odd: it suggests research done with a preconceived conclusion in mind, whereas good scientific research tries to investigate a question neutrally and only conclude based on the evidence.

Examples?
