Women No Longer Have a Cervix? | The Canadian Cancer Society
In a recent development, a top cancer charity has issued an apology for using the word 'cervix' instead of the more trans-friendly term 'front hole.' The Canadian Cancer Society, led by philanthropist Andrea Seale, acknowledged the LGBTQ+ community's concerns on a webpage dedicated to cervical cancer, specifically under the 'words matter' section.
The non-profit organization stated that 'many' non-binary people and transgender men have 'mixed feelings' or 'feel distanced' from the term cervix. This decision aims to be more inclusive and sensitive to the language preferences of the LGBTQ+ community.
