Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, is celebrating news that the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is doing away with certain words and phrases, including “transgender.”

According to a report from The Washington Post, citing an anonymous policy analyst, the discussion of a ban on those terms took place during a budget meeting. In total, seven words and phrases were said to have been banned: “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “diversity,” “transgender,” “fetus,” “evidence-based,” and “science-based.”

CDC Director Dr. Brenda Fitzgerald has denied such a ban exists, claiming instead that the trouble was “confusion” that “arose from a staff-level discussion at a routine meeting about how to present CDC’s budget. It was never intended as overall guidance for how we describe and conduct CDC’s work.”

Perkins, who is an ardent supporter of the Trump administration, presented the situation as nothing more than liberal and media panic. He claimed, citing no evidence, that this sort of thing is standard practice with every administration.
