Just write out messenger ribonucleic acid. Or refer to it as a "transcriptome constituent".

"Your grant has been rejected on the grounds of containing woke "trans" agenda."

Trans is banned. It would be flagged.

Oncologists trying to apply for a grant for uterine cancer research without using the words "female" or "women".

This list of banned words was introduced months ago, has the US only just discovered it exists?

Like most things, it hasn't been done through the correct channels. I think Trump signed a few orders (with only some of the words from the leaked list), and then his staff occasionally orders an office to drop everything and ensure they're newspeak compliant

I do know removing anything except male/female from the gender drop down boxes was a big push, the white house website is getting a lot scrubbed, but it's all very inconsistently applied and disorganized

Write it out. The idiots won't know it's the same thing.
