> Any unpublished manuscript mentioning certain topics, including gender and "LGBT," must be pulled or revised.

In the order, CDC researchers were instructed to remove references to or mentions of a list of forbidden terms: “Gender, transgender, pregnant person, pregnant people, LGBT, transsexual, non-binary, nonbinary, assigned male at birth, assigned female at birth, biologically male, biologically female,”  
And not just from its own internal periodicals, but from any/all medical or scientific journals. I am definitely not seeing an upside here. Are you?

Well, it’s just proof that Trump and his followers are anti-censorship.

Not me, but I’m not a homophobic, anti-trans bigot like many in the current administration. Leopards are eating Caitlin Jenner’s face for sure. Or, as the administration would have it, Bruce Jenner.

_If_ she sees it coming. I am not really seeing any understanding of the word “hypocrisy” when it comes to the new right.
