Nomenclature is the battle which decides the grounds on which the battle will be fought.
Daily Wire: “Vanderbilt to review gender-affirming surgeries for minors,” the AP headlined a story earlier this month. No, the wire service didn’t use the term “mutilation of children,” instead it is “gender affirming.”
“Officials at Vanderbilt University Medical Center announced Friday that they are pausing gender-affirming surgeries for minors in order to review their practices,” the article said. In all, the piece used the term seven times.
The media has chosen sides once again. They’ve chosen once again against life, against children, and against accuracy.
How can a double mastectomy on a confused 12 year old be labeled anything other than child abuse? In much the same way they couldn’t refer to “partial birth abortion” accurately as well. The AP won’t even call us pro-life. Nope. We’re “anti-abortion.”
Antifa gets called Antifa but we’re not pro-life. Think about that for a second.
