Canadian Cancer Society apologizes for not calling cervix “front hole” in non-binary disclaimer

On a web page dedicated to cervical cancer, the Canadian Cancer Society is apologizing for referring to the cervix by its technical name rather than euphemisms such as “front hole.”

Trans, non-binary and gender-diverse people face significant barriers to accessing healthcare and are less likely than cisgender people to be screened for cancer.

What kind of a hole is Trudeau? Do we need a disclamer for that?

The Liberals and Bloc Québécois teamed up with Conservative MPs to defeat the NDP motion, which fell by a margin of 285 to 26.
