Remember that?

I just took a mosey on over to see if CRUK were still blinded by their halo of woke. Looks like someone grown up has finally taken control of the website!

Not only have the used plain, easily understandable language, they have also clearly signposted a separate document which equally clearly informs trans people what will happen/what they may need to do to receive the correct healthcare for their sex.

I mean, well done CRUK for finally realising cancer doesn't give a shit what internal mystical essence you might have, but you lost many of us (me a decades-long donor) over it. Not that you ever bothered to reply to me when I took the trouble to write and tell you exactly that...

A chink of common sense in a world of woke! I'm ridiculously pleased about this. The tale of CRUK using 'cervix havers' was one of my go to illustrations of how out of control this movement has got.

This is fantastic news.

I want all female people to receive appropriate care and ‘plain language’ is a necessary part of that aim.
I also absolutely welcome additional documentation aimed at those who need it phrased differently.

Well done CRUK (finally).

But if we keep trudging, things change. Puuuullll!

why does cancer bloody research acknowledging biological reality feel like a win?

Shows how bad things have got. Fighting for women's rights has never been easy, but now it's like trudging uphill in heavy mud with the rain tipping down.
