In our recently submitted grants we had to change “traumatic brain injury” to “concussive brain injury” and “male and female mice” to “male and non-male mice” because traumatic and female are now verboten words that can get our grants killed. It’s insanity.
These idiots will learn one day that you can't kill an idea.
Orwell would disagree, unfortunately.
But you can kill mice! Presumably with a little box and a miniature, spring-loaded boxing glove stored inside
But they can defund ideas and watch them fade to obscurity under a flood of fascist bullshit and violence.
cool to read that you lot use "verboten" as a legit word
I'm french and I use verboten too, it's in our genes to be scared of German words I think
How DARE they Assume Mice can be MORE then just Male AND Female! NONMALE means ANYTHING THATS NOT MALE you Stupid Libtards Commies!
-A Happy Republican Voter who just Lost their Medicaid and SNAP Benefits and saw their Toddler get Deported!
real men don't have trauma and women don't exist. case dismissed.
Wow they didn't need to take the George orwell concept of double speak so far
