Canadian Cancer Society Issues Apologetic Note For Failing to Refer to Female Anatomy As A “Front Hole”

The Canadian Cancer Society has affixed an apologetic note to a page on cervical cancer addressed to trans-identified females, assuring them that men can have cervixes as well. In a section titled “Words Matter,” the non-profit organization acknowledged the “mixed feelings” trans-identified females and non-binary individuals may have when hearing anatomically accurate terms.

“We recognize that many trans men and non-binary people may have mixed feelings about or feel distanced from words like ‘cervix.’ You may prefer other words, such as ‘front hole,’’ reads a webpage dedicated to answering questions about cervical cancer screenings for “trans men [and] non-binary people assigned female at birth.”

“We recognize the limitations of the words we’ve used while also acknowledging the need for simplicity,” concludes the apology, adding that the organization sometimes uses the term cervix to “normalize the reality that men can have these body parts too.”

In addition to highlighting the importance of cervical cancer screening regardless of a person’s gender identity, the Cancer Society’s website also acknowledges the “barriers transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse people face” when accessing healthcare as compared to the general public.

“Trans, non-binary and gender-diverse people face significant barriers to accessing healthcare and are less likely than cisgender people to be screened for cancer.”

According to the Mayo Clinic, cervical cancer occurs in the cells of the cervix. It is often transmitted sexually through strains of the human papillomavirus and is detected through regular screenings called Pap smears, where a doctor uses a small brush to collect cells from the surface of the cervix to be tested for cancer.

Continuing, the Canadian Cancer Society’s site notes some of the challenges members of the LGBT community encounter that may prevent them from participating in cancer screenings, including “transphobia, discrimination, a lack of trans-specific knowledge and available resources,” and “concerns about emotional and physical safety,” before emphasizing the importance of getting tested.

“If you have a cervix and have ever had sexual contact with anyone, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, you should start having regular Pap tests by the time you’re 25. You’ll need a Pap test every three years or as recommended by your healthcare provider, whether or not you’re taking testosterone.”

The cancer society’s disclaimer made its rounds on social media, sparking backlash from many who believe its position is offensive to women.

“Canadian Cancer Society apologizes for not calling cervix, a “front hole”,  in THEIR non-binary disclaimer. Everybody drop everything and go read George Orwell’s 1984 now,” wrote one Canadian political commentator by the handle @Martyupnorth_2.

Others, such as True North journalist Cosmin Dzsurdzsa called the apology “an insult to women who suffer from this terrible disease.”

This is not the first time Canada’s largest cancer charity has raised eyebrows for catering its recommendations to transgender individuals. As previously reported by Reduxx, the society faced backlash last year for suggesting that men who identify as women should get routine pap smears to screen for cervical cancer. 

On a section of its site titled “As a trans woman, do I need to get screened for cervical cancer?” The cancer charity lists advice for males who identify as transgender and are curious about receiving a cervical cancer screening.

“If you’re a trans woman, you may not have given much thought to Pap tests and cervical cancer. And if you haven’t, that makes a fair amount of sense. After all, in order to get cervical cancer, you need to have a cervix — that is, the organ that connects the vagina to the uterus,” reads the site, adding that “trans women” who have undergone “bottom surgery to create a vagina and possibly a cervix” should talk to a medical professional to “figure out specific cancer-screening needs.”

A member of the Reduxx team contacted the Canadian Cancer Society posing as a trans-identified male seeking cervical cancer screening information and spent over 30 minutes on the phone with the operator who provided recommendations for where to receive gender-affirming care in Canada.

According to True North, gender-neutral language has become widely popularized in other medical establishments in North America. In 2022, the Boston Children’s Hospital used the term “front hole” to describe female anatomy.

“A transgender male teen may still have a vagina. He won’t call it a vagina. He may use the term ‘front hole’ or a different term,” explained transgender sex educator Dr. Elizabeth Boskey in a video for the hospital.

In another video by the hospital, Boskey describes the eligibility requirements for trans children wishing to transition to another gender surgically.

“For top surgery, you are requested but not required to have been on gender-affirming hormones for at least a year. If you are a trans woman, it’s really encouraged that you’ve been on estrogen for at least a year because you really want to maximize your natural breast growth.”

Concluding, Boskey explains that, unlike most hospitals, which require youth to be 18 before surgically transitioning, The Boston Children’s Hospital allows patients as young as 15 years old to get so-called ‘top surgery,’ or a double mastectomy to remove healthy breast tissue.

UK: Woke Glasgow council to remove up to 11 statues of British military heroes in BLM ‘anti-slavery’ push

Statues of British military heroes could be removed from a square in Glasgow following an anti-slavery, anti-colonial backlash from SNP council bigwigs.

As part of an overhaul of George Square in Scotland’s second city, no fewer than 11 statues are set to be removed – and while the council has insisted they’ll be back in 2027, their reinstitution could be at the behest of an “antislavery working group”.

, Sir John Moore Statue, https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/

Glasgow’s SNP-led local authority had commissioned a review into public artwork following the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, which included the drawing-up of a list of ‘cancellable’ figures depicted in statue form.

One figure from Glasgow City Council, SNP councillor Graham Campbell, had said bronzes of Sir John Moore and Field Marshal Colin Campbell were especially problematic.

Speaking about the figures, Campbell said: “One played a leading role in killing Indians resisting British colonialism; the other spent a lot of time killing a lot of enslaved Africans resisting slavery in the Caribbean.

Field Marshal Colin Campbell , https://www.tripadvisor.fr/

“No doubt today we would not put up statues to such people.”

His comments echoed the sentiments raised in the council report, which said: “John Moore and Colin Campbell were in the British Army, with identifiable roles in upholding the system of chattel slavery in colonies of the British West Indies.”

And just this week, one council official told a meeting: “We are flexible and agile, and awaiting any instruction from the antislavery working group.

“If a decision was taken that one or more statues should not be brought back into the square, then the design would adapt accordingly.”

Both Sir John Moore and Field Marshal Campbell were key Glasgow-born British Army players.

The former had fought in the American War of Independence and had battled adversaries like France under Napoleon – who had credited him with saving Britain’s forces from destruction.

While the latter was a hero of the Crimean War, and had led campaigns against China, Russia and India throughout the 19th Century.

One suggestion for a replacement in George Square has been the erection of a bronze of abolitionist pioneer William Wilberforce – which could see installation on a new 12th plinth in the public space.

A council spokesman has remained coy on the matter, saying: “The working assumption is that all of the 11 statues in George Square will be returned to the Square in 2027 after their removal – early in 2025 – for conservation and restoration.

“We will soon be preparing tender documents for the contracts needed to deliver this work.”

Germany Panic-Announces Migrant Deportation Plan Before Elections

https://resistancerepublicaine.com/

Just days before Germany and the rest of the Europe votes on the next European Parliament, the migrant stabbing of a right-wing activist shocked the country, apparently bouncing the government into suddenly announcing a deportation plan for extremists.

An Afghan migrant launched a mass knife attack on a right-wing political event in the city of Mannheim, Germany last week. Several people were stabbed including a veteran anti-Islamification campaigner, and a police officer responding to the attack was killed. The attack came just days before Germany — and many other European states — is due to vote in a major European election, and the anti-mass migration right having their point so brutally underlined appears to have seriously alarmed the progressive coalition government.

Germany has been looking into being able to deport unwanted migrants back to Afghanistan for months, but last week’s terror attack seems to have brought the matter crashing to a head, with Chancellor Olaf Scholz now promising to deport migrants guilty of serious crimes, and those immigrants that may celebrate or glorify terrorist attacks.

This is essential, the left-wing head of government said, because migrants behaving badly undermined national cohesion by drawing attention to migrants behaving badly. Scholz said: “Anyone who abuses crimes like the one in Mannheim is lighting the fuse to [destroy] our cohesion. People with an immigration background are part of our society – we will not allow ourselves to be divided… [as in sports teams] they are all our boys.”

He told the nation, just days before polls open this Sunday: “Anyone who glorifies terrorism is going against all of our values ​​- and should be deported” and “Such criminals should be deported; they have no place here – even if they come from Syria and Afghanistan”.

Refugees who “exploit our protection” forfeit their rights, he said.

The remarks were also significant as they appear to be the first time the Mannheim attack has been definitely called a terror attack by Scholz.

While the German government and its immigration policy has naturally come under strong attack from the right since the Mannheim terror attack last week and the second Mannheim attack this week — another stabbing of a right-wing activist in the city just four days after the first — it is also coming under fire from the populist left.

Germany’s Die Welt reports Sahra Wagenknecht, formerly of the hard-left Die Linke (‘The Left’) party but who split off earlier this year to form a new political party named after herself — the Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) with a respectable ten members of Parliament — goads Scholz by complaining the German taxpayer funds radicalisation. Calling the stabbing by a long-term Afghan migrant who should have been deported years before but never was, anti-mass migration, socially conservative, but economically hard-left Wagenknecht called the situation “scandalous”.

She said, speaking to Welt: “I find it scandalous that someone who has no protection status, no right to asylum, stays in our country for over ten years… We basically financed his radicalization as well. He lived off us, off the money of the citizens.”

UK study of children shows heart inflammation develops after COVID vaccination, not infection

A new medical study conducted by researchers at Oxford University shows that the heart diseases myocarditis and pericarditis only occur after COVID-19 vaccination, not after infection, in children and adolescents.

The study, which has been published in its preprint version (before peer review), compared medical data from more than one million vaccinated and unvaccinated children ages 5 to 11 and adolescents ages 12 to 15 in England. The health of the unvaccinated children and adolescents were compared with that of those who received one and two doses of COVID-19 vaccines.

According to the study, “Whilst rare, all myocarditis and pericarditis events during the study period occurred in vaccinated individuals,” while no deaths resulted in children or adolescents from myocarditis or pericarditis.

The study also stated that “COVID-19-related hospitalisation, and critical care attendance were rare in both adolescents and children and there were no COVID-19 related deaths.”

Analyzing data provided by the National Health Service (NHS), England’s OpenSAFELY-TPP database, which includes 40 percent of English primary care providers, researchers matched vaccinated and unvaccinated adolescents and children of similar relevant backgrounds – age, sex, location – charting 20 weeks for comparison of such things as positive COVID-19 tests, hospitalizations, critical care, adverse events, and non-COVID hospitalizations.

The analysis showed that myocarditis and pericarditis occurred only in vaccinated children and adolescents, with a higher incidence of both in adolescents rather than children.

Out of the more than 839,000 vaccinated children and adolescents examined in the study, 15 cases of pericarditis and three cases of myocarditis were found. All cases of myocarditis and 12 of the 15 cases of pericarditis occurred among adolescents.

Among the cases of pericarditis, all but three occurred after the first COVID vaccine dose, with more than half of the adolescents with either pericarditis and myocarditis hospitalized or taken to the ER.

The study also indicated that there was no significant difference in the severity of COVID-19 infection between vaccinated and unvaccinated children.

In comments on the new study, cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough is reported to have stated that it is “one of many demonstrating that COVID-19 vaccination is not medically necessary for children, given the less than 1 percent rate of infection, and that excessive testing for COVID-19 is a waste of resources.”

McCullough also said, “The fact that COVID-19 vaccination can lead to side effects like myocarditis and pericarditis means it can potentially result in fatal cardiac arrest in a fraction of victims, which cannot be predicted ahead of time.”

A significant body of evidence links significant risks to the COVID vaccines, which were developed and reviewed in a fraction of the time vaccines usually take under former U.S. President Donald Trump’s Operation Warp Speed initiative. Among these risks, the U.S. federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) reports 37,382 deaths, 215,734 hospitalizations, 21,616 heart attacks, and 28,299 myocarditis and pericarditis cases as of March 29, among other ailments.

U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) researchers have recognized a “high verification rate of reports of myocarditis to VAERS after mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccination,” leading to the conclusion that “under-reporting is more likely” than over-reporting).

An analysis of 99 million people across eight countries published in February in the journal Vaccine – the largest analysis to date – “observed significantly higher risks of myocarditis following the first, second and third doses” of mRNA-based COVID vaccines, as well as signs of increased risk of “pericarditis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis,” and other “potential safety signals that require further investigation.”

In April, the CDC was forced to release by court order 780,000 previously undisclosed reports of serious adverse reactions.

Greens laugh during debate about Mannheim police officer murdered in Islamist knife attack

German Greens politicians in the Berlin state parliament caused an uproar on Thursday after heckling and laughing during a debate on the Islamist knife attack in Mannheim last week that resulted in the murder of a police officer.

Opening the debate, the state’s Interior Senator Iris Spanger (SPD) began by saying, “The terrible death of Mannheim shows us-” to which a member of the German Greens group heckled, “Mannheim is dead?”

The comment was followed by noticeable laughter in the chamber from her party colleagues.

The heckle was shut down by the left-wing minister who told the German Greens faction, “I wouldn’t laugh about it. There are colleagues sitting up there. I hope other members of the Green group agree with me that the safety of the security forces comes first when knife attacks like this occur.”

Spanger’s retort prompted a round of applause from other state MPs in the chamber.

The official minutes of the parliamentary session also recorded the disrespectful behavior in which it was noted, “Call from the GREENS: Mannheim is dead? – Laughter from the GREENS.”

It was later revealed the author of the offending remark was Tuba Bozkurt, a German Greens lawmaker born in Germany to second-generation Turkish immigrants.

Following the outrage that followed, the MP took to social media to apologize for her interjection.

“I would like to apologize for my interruption in the House of Representatives. It was irreverent and indecent and I deeply regret it,” she wrote, offering an apology to the the relatives, friends, and colleagues of Rouven L., the deceased police officer.

“Nothing is further from my mind than to create the impression of ridicule after this terrible act. I promise this won’t happen again. Police officers who put their lives and their health at risk every day for our safety have my absolute respect,” she added.

Pro-Hamas crowds praise the murder of Jews and are silent on the murder of Christians

Pakistani jihadists threatened attacks on Christians in response to the burning of the Swedish Quran. But they never needed an “excuse” to tear them apart.

A Christian family was attacked in Sargodha, Pakistan, after being accused of having “offended Islam”. The neighborhood was invaded by Islamic fundamentalists and fires were set. Muslims in the neighborhood destroyed the family’s house and lynched one of them. They didn’t speak Swedish, but Urdu. And they were not “colonialists”, but as indigenous as Muslims.

These are scenes that seem to come from another time, but they come from a country that is a member of the UN Human Rights Council. And as in the Jewish October 7th, the wolves film their victims with cell phones.

Where is the outrage in the West for this pogrom? Only silence, interrupted by the cry “Allahu Akbar”. History books will not forgive the betrayal on the part of the West.

For these Christians, no one in Europe took to the streets.

The Norwegian Foreign Minister, Espen Barth Eide, was just photographed alongside Mona Osman, the daughter of the Palestinian Arab terrorist Walid Abdulrahman Abu Zayed, involved in the attack in Paris in 1982 in which they killed six people at the Jewish restaurant Jo Goldenberg. Eide never said anything about Christians either.

Does the West really care more about the right of Islamic terrorists to build tunnels with aid money than it does about lynched Christians?

And what a chronicle of martyrdom.

In Jaranwala, 5,000 “insulted” Muslims descended on the city, targeting Christian neighborhoods. They burned several churches and 10,000 Christians fled their homes, many of them hiding in the fields to shelter from the violence.

-Nouman Asghar, a 24-year-old Christian, was sentenced to death for “contempt towards Muhammad”.

-Anglican Noman Masih was sentenced to hanging because he had “blasphemous images” of Muhammad on his mobile phone.

-Priyantha Kumara was not a Christian but a Buddhist, but still an “infidel”. He was a Sri Lankan immigrant who worked in a factory that produces sporting goods. For the workers he was guilty of having removed a poster with Muhammad’s name printed on it. Kumara didn’t even understand. But that’s enough to accuse him of “blasphemy” and kill him.

-Shahzad and Shama Masih, husband and wife (pregnant), worked in a clay factory in Lahore, where they were kidnapped and held hostage for two days and pushed into the kiln where bricks are fired, burning them alive. They too had “offended Islam”.

Shouldn’t we in Europe be worried when people are burned in ovens?

Was there any condemnation from European countries? Or a UN resolution? Questions more pertinent than ever.

Ah, the UN. A tribute to the memory of Iranian Raisi, the butcher of Teheran, was held last week. We should rename them the “United Nations of Cutthroats”.

Leader of the Spanish Right Santiago Abascal: ‘No Prizes For Terrorism. No State For Palestine’

Scarcely a week has gone by since Pedro Sanchez, the Socialist Prime Minister of Spain, chose to recognize the “State of Palestine.” Now the leader of the right-wing opposition, Santiago Abascal, has just paid a visit to Israel, in sign of solidarity with the Jewish state. And from Jerusalem, he has roundly declared that when he is in charge in Madrid, there well be “no prizes for terrorism. No state for Palestine.” More on Abascal’s visit can be found here: “‘No prizes for terror’: Spanish opposition leader Abascal promises,” by Yuval Barnea, Jerusalem Post, May 29, 2024:

Santiago Abascal, leader of far-right Spanish party VOX, landed in Israel on Tuesday night and met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli.

In the mainstream media, the adjective “far-right” is affixed to any European leader who believes in the free market, supports NATO, is favorably disposed to Israel, and — most important of all — wants to end immigration from Muslim states. Geert Wilders of the Netherlands, a centrist in his domestic policies, has. been labelled “far-right” only because he opposes Muslim immigration. The same is true of Marine Le Pen, who is center-right, but labelled “far-right” only because of her alarm about Muslim immigrants in France.

During the meeting, he [Abascal] told Netanyahu there would be “No prizes for terrorism. No state for Palestine.”

He expressed unreserved support for Israel’s war goals: the elimination of Hamas and the return of the hostages.

Abascal’s visit to Israel comes a week after Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced that Spain would recognize “Palestine” as a state….

Sanchez, who has re-established his country’s ties with the Communist dictators of Venezuela and Cuba, is in deep political trouble because of the charges laid against his wife, just last month, of influence peddling and corruption. It has been suggested that in order to deflect attention from his wife’s case Sanchez chose this moment to recognize the “state of Palestine” as a way to turn the public conversation in Spain from domestic to foreign policy.

Nor is his wife the only one in Sanchez’ circle who has been tainted by scandal. His former Transport Minister, José Luis Abalos, resigned from Parliament and the party in February after corruption charges were leveled at his deputy for a fraud scheme during the COVID-19 pandemic. That resignation suggests the charges against his deputy were justified; it might even mean that Abalos himself was involved in the fraud scheme. Between his wife and his former transport minister, Pedro Sanchez is in a world of woe.

Sanchez recognized the state of Palestine, but without calling for Israel’s disappearance. His Deputy Prime Minister, Yolanda Diaz, has no such qualms. With her announcement that “from the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free” she has called for the disappearance of the Jewish state and its replacement by a 23rd Arab one.

During the tour, he criticized Sanchez for being disconnected from reality and the Spanish people, accusing him of acting “out of personal political needs.”

“Any decision he makes that harms the people of Israel will be canceled by me,” Abascal added.’’

That means if Santiago Abascal should become prime minister — his VOX party is now in third place in the polls, but steadily gaining strength because of the growing opposition in the country to Muslim migrants — he would undo Spain’s recognition of a “state of Palestine.” And his outspoken support for Israel suggests that he would vote to support Israel at the UN, and quite possibly, would be prepared to move the Spanish embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

Could Abascal replace Sanchez? Much will depend on the corruption scandal in which Sanchez’s wife is now involved. If she is found guilty, there may be a vote of no-confidence in Sanchez, and he would be forced to resign, just as happened to his predecessor Mariano Rajoy. The VOX party continues to gain strength, and Abascal himself may be chosen to replace Sanchez. And should that happen, up and down the Land of Israel there would be much mafficking.

It happened once again in Germany: Afghan vandalises election posters of a conservative party and attacks police officers with a knife

Nosta Lgia

On Wednesday, the 5th of June 2024 at around 09:15 p.m., a 49-year-old German bus driver in Bergen reported that a man had kicked his bus. The man was also apparently cutting election posters with a kitchen knife.

Police officers immediately arrived at the disruptive man and asked him to put the knife down. Although he complied, he still attacked the officers. The officers were not injured – the attacker, a 22-year-old Afghan national, was ultimately handcuffed and taken to a hospital in Stralsund after an emergency doctor was called.

The knife was a kitchen knife with a fixed blade of 11.5 cm. It was confiscated. Criminal charges were brought on suspicion of criminal damage (at least one ‘Citizens for Conservative Values’ election poster) and attempted criminal damage (the bus was not damaged) as well as resisting and assaulting law enforcement officers.

Polish soldier stabbed by illegal migrant dies in hospital

A Polish soldier who was stabbed by an illegal migrant attempting to cross the border with Belarus last week has died in a Warsaw hospital, Polish media outlets confirmed on Thursday.

“We regret to inform you that on June 6 in the afternoon at the Military Medical Institute in Warsaw, surrounded by the support of his family and soldiers, a soldier of the 1st Armored Brigade died with a knife,” read a statement from the General Command of the Armed Forces.

“Despite the help provided in the area of ​​​​the bandit attack on the border with Belarus and the efforts of doctors, he did not survive,” it added.

The news broke on Thursday afternoon following initial reports by the RMF FM radio station that he had been deemed “clinically dead,” based on unconfirmed findings from one of its reporters.

“A soldier injured with a knife near the Belarusian border is clinically dead, an RMF FM reporter learned unofficially,” the station wrote.

This followed an update from Republika TV journalist Michał Jelonek revealing he had spoken to Major Magdalena Kościńska, a spokesperson for the 16th Pomeranian Mechanized Division, who said the soldier’s condition had “deteriorated” and he was “currently fighting for his life.”

The injury was sustained in the early hours of May 28 following a clash between soldiers manning the border and a group of around 50 migrants who tried to force their way onto Polish soil.

Remix News previously reported how the assailant reached through a gap in the steel border barrier and stabbed the soldier in the ribs, with the knife becoming lodged in the soldier’s body.

Several other soldiers sustained minor injuries during the assault on the border.

On Thursday, it was revealed that soldiers patrolling the border area of Dubicze Cerkiewne, near to where this incident took place, were detained by military police after firing warning shots to deter migrant advances earlier this year.

Poland’s Ministry of National Defense (MON) reported that the charges against the soldiers include endangering human life and health, as well as exceeding their authority. They have subsequently been suspended from duty pending a potential criminal investigation.

Following last week’s attack, the Polish Border Guard posted photos of the weapon used to harm those protecting the border, revealing a knife that had been attached to a long branch to create a bayonet capable of reaching officials on the other side of the barrier.

The Polish military prosecution service is investigating the incident, which was classified as attempted murder, a charge that may soon be upgraded.
