I think that the CDC should continue business as usual, and just censor the offensive words, preferably with a big black line. That should make the point clearly enough.

"███████████ is an umbrella term for persons whose gender identity or expression (masculine, feminine, other) is different from their sex (male, female) at birth. Gender identity refers to one’s internal understanding of one’s own gender, or the gender with which a person identifies. Gender expression is a term used to describe people’s outward presentation of their gender."

As a side note, are they able to say things like "fetal microencephalopathy" or do they have to say "baby brain small" now?
