Don't they know just because you've banned a word, doesn't mean that the item or thing automatically poofs out of existence?
This is that easy. There's a few words I'd love to ban. How about Elmo? And Turd
This is a 21st century version of book burning.
This is Project 2025 in action.
Unfortunately, this kind of control of language does work in the long term.
It makes it harder to pursue science when you cannot use the terns others in ypur field use.
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.

In Oldspeak, this might be rendered:
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)

Are you fucking kidding me?!?! What the fuck is wrong with that orange fucking clown? Jesus fuckjng christ.
Is there an equivalent to samizdat in scientific journals?
If so, our scientists should adopt some pseudonyms...
How long until this evil administration forces some citizens to sew a yellow star or pink triangle on their clothes?
Yellow star is so last world war.
It’ll definitely be pink triangles and moon and star this go around
The GOP read the Bolshevik, CCP and Nazi playbooks.
Why not move all journals out of the US or move all research out of US journals. Who cares if for instance JAMA publishes nothing this year? Nearly 100% of the value was always in the scientists who write and review the work
it’s not US journals which are affected, it’s the scientists working for the CDC
And just like that sci-hub will be even more useful
