CDC Bans 'Non-Binary' and 'Pregnant People' Terms in Public Health Documents

MSN

In a move to redefine public health language, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has instructed researchers to remove terms like 'non-binary', 'they/them', and 'pregnant people' from research manuscripts. This shift aims to revamp the tone of public health material, sparking debate on inclusivity and gender ideology in medical research. The decision may impact how health organizations approach LGBTQ+ health issues and gender-neutral language, potentially influencing future health policy and research studies on diversity and inclusion.
