Accompanied by an emoji
The Telegraph is on it. Yo, Guardian, BBC, why aren’t you?
A charity has come under fire after claiming that anyone, of any gender, can have ovarian cancer. Ovarian Cancer Action posted on Twitter: “Did you know that anyone with ovaries, regardless of gender identity, can be at risk for ovarian cancer? “Let’s raise awareness by asking: can men get ovarian cancer? #PrideMonth #OvarianCancerAwareness” The post was accompanied by an emoji of a rainbow flag, as well as an image entitled: ‘Can men get ovarian cancer?’ along with the answer: “Anyone with ovaries, regardless of gender identity, can be at risk of ovarian cancer.
Anyone with ovaries=any woman. Gender idenniny is wholly irrelevant.
Responding to the post, Kate Barker, chief executive of the LGB Alliance, said: “Activists want to see the reality of biological sex replaced with a magical fantasy world of 100 genders and they are prepared to sacrifice the health of women to achieve it.”
…
Fiona McAnena, director of campaigns at Sex Matters, added: “This divisive stunt from Ovarian Cancer Action in the name of celebrating Pride Month is an insult to women who have suffered from the disease, as well as to their families. Men cannot get ovarian cancer. To suggest otherwise is misleading and dangerous, particularly when it comes to the health of women with learning difficulties or those who speak English as a second language. Public-health charities should use clear, sex-based language to communicate. The language of gender-identity ideology obfuscates the reality that sex matters in healthcare.”
But it’s worth it for the…um…supportivativity vibes. Yeah, that’s it. Sowing confusion about ovarian cancer is solidarityesqueish.
Well if men can have babies*, then their getting ovarian cancer should be a doddle.
*I’m told by reliable news organizations and health care services that this happens all the time.
To buy this trans-garbage is to enter the world of Alice in Wonderland, but without the wonder. Up is down, East is West, day is night, and the rest is bullshit. You are anything you want to imagine yourself to be.
& by the same ‘logic’ women can get prostate cancer.
