<p class="m2201411136487970994xmsonormal">Exclusion of “transgender” is obviously discriminatory. The replacement of “evidence-based” with some phrase about science and community is more opaquely problematic. A core anthropological critique of contemporary
public/ global health is that health interventions prioritize “data-driven” interventions to the exclusion of cultural/ community perspectives. Addressing this critique is clearly NOT the intent of this censorship, but any op-ed or statement writers need to
be cognizant of this anthropological critique even as they/we call out the many problems with the word banning (whether it is self-censorship or other-censorship).<o:p></o:p></p>

that if they avoid these words they will be more likely to get funded, and if they have these words in their budget they’ll be less likely to get funded. So it’s a pre-emptive sort of thing, not a prohibition coming from the administration but rather a bureaucratic
strategy to deal with (probably quite accurate) anticipation of the administration’s response.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

good thing, but I’m not sure pointing it out solves the fundamental problem. Maybe, instead, publicize the positive results of programs that use these words, using the words in the titles? Ideally, successes in Republican-leaning areas if possible?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
