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
looks intentional
Just write out messenger ribonucleic acid. Or refer to it as a "transcriptome constituent".
Trans is banned. It would be flagged.
"Your grant has been rejected on the grounds of containing woke "trans" agenda."
This. MAGAts are idiots, and wouldn't know what they meant.
Write it out. The idiots won't know it's the same thing.
easy call it biological agent codename ANRm
Just say it like a person's name. Myrna.
You should meet my Auntie Fa.
