The article discusses the evolution of language around gender following public discourse about inclusivity. Initially, there was backlash against the perceived censorship of the word 'women' by proponents of inclusive language. However, recent executive orders from Donald Trump have imposed real limitations on gender terminology, causing federal agencies like NASA and the CDC to remove relevant references. This censorship poses significant risks for researchers whose work requires terms like 'women.' The article highlights the contradiction between earlier claims of word erasure and the actual impact of current policies.
