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.

“Forbidden terms” is cenenting the idea that we cant say words like gender. So people wont refer to the people who disappear.
