A top cancer charity has apologized for using the word ‘cervix’ instead of trans-friendly ‘front hole.’
The Canadian Cancer Society, which is run by philanthropist Andrea Seale, acknowledged the LGBTQ+ community on a webpage dedicated to cervical cancer, under the page’s ‘words matter’ section.
The non-profit said that ‘many’ non-binary people and transgender men have ‘mixed feelings’ or ‘feel distanced’ from the term cervix.
We recognize that many trans men and non-binary people may have mixed feelings about or feel distanced from words like “cervix”,’ the statement said.
‘You may prefer other words, such as “front hole.” We recognize the limitations of the words we’ve used while also acknowledging the need for simplicity. Another reason we use words like “cervix” is to normalize the reality that men can have these body parts too.’
