Easy-peasy: the words \u201cwomen, female, females, feminism\u201d are now among hundreds \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/thoughtfulpastor\/2021\/07\/31\/am-i-woke-perhaps-awakening\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\" decorated-link\">woke words<\/a>\u201d Mr. Trump has declared <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2025\/03\/07\/us\/trump-federal-agencies-websites-words-dei.html?unlocked_article_code=1.3E4.Fov2.bSbmGKkS3tFu&amp;smid=url-share\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\" decorated-link\">not to be used in those official documents<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Truly, the Trump Bible, not to mention the billions of other Bibles out there, really needs to undergo significant editing. Under Trump\u2019s leadership, we will be a nation governed by the principles of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/thoughtfulpastor\/2023\/08\/21\/trump-as-messiah-starting-to-make-sense-to-me\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\" decorated-link\">Christian Nationalism<\/a>, the Bible serving as the source of all laws.<\/p>\n<p>But we\u2019ve got a real problem. In Genesis, for example, all Bibles state clearly that <em>God created humankind, male and FEMALE, God created them<\/em>. We simply cannot have the forbidden \u201cfemale\u201d to be recognized as the pinnacle of God\u2019s creative activity. May it never be!<\/p>\n<p>Oh, the word \u201cimmigrant\u201d is also forbidden. It\u2019s best to scrub Abraham\u2019s journey, the Exodus, the Israeli incursion into Palestine, and the Nativity stories. We don\u2019t want people to get the idea that immigration might be a biblical idea.<\/p>\n<p>As for our baptismal vows of resisting evil, injustice and oppression? Forget about it. With the words \u201cinjustice\u201d and \u201coppressed\u201d on the forbidden list, you are hereby released from that promise.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>We will soon have the highest infant and maternal mortality rate in the world! We\u2019re number ONE!<\/h3>\n<p>There are lots of other forbidden words, all carefully curated to make sure that the US is populated only with white straight males (\u201cLBGT and racism,\u201d for example, are no-no\u2019s).<\/p>\n<p>I suspect we shall also eliminate all government-funded research into Obstetrics, Gynecology, pregnancy and childbirth since these are all, gulp, WOMEN\u2019S issues and thus cannot be named, making it impossible to study them.<\/p>\n<p>We can also immediately stop all research into ovarian and uterine cancers, menopausal challenges, and other 100% female afflictions. We MIGHT be able to keep breast cancer research, but only because men occasionally get breast cancer. We certainly don\u2019t want to do anything that might harm males, after all.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, by the way, the phrases \u201cpregnant people, pregnant person, and pregnant persons\u201d are also utterly forbidden, but apparently, we can still use the word \u201cpregnancy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just think: we will soon become the absolute world leader in pregnancy-related deaths! We will be THE BEST, NUMBER ONE woman\/baby-killing nation in the world!!! Yea for us!!!! The hallmark of a country based on the principles of Christian Nationalism! Even better, since we can\u2019t use the word \u201cwomen,\u201d we don\u2019t even have to count those maternal deaths since all the afflicted will be women!!<\/p>\n<p>By the way, words like rape, f***, penis, butt, a*****e, male, and even [toxic] masculinity are acceptable, but not gender, bias or ethnicity.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a screenshot of the current \u201cdo not use\u201d word list.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18206\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/667\/2025\/03\/Trump-forbidden-words.png\" alt='the word \"women\" is now forbidden by Trump' width=\"934\" height=\"1380\"><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>You may NOT claim to be traumatized or to have mental health issues ever again.<\/h3>\n<p>Remember, it is against the rules for those of us who think we might be a bit disturbed by having our existence wiped out to speak of experiencing any \u201ctrauma\u201d or \u201cmental health\u201d issues about this. No being \u201ctraumatized\u201d allowed!!!!<\/p>\n<p><em>You love being erased. You love being erased. You love being erased.<\/em> Just keep repeating this phrase until it becomes your [invisible] identity.<\/p>\n<p>Remember the ban on the word \u201cimmigrants?\u201d Don\u2019t ever let anyone know about your heritage. Either you were born of Native Americans (I think this leaves Mr. Trump and, most definitely, Mrs. Trump out, and I\u2019ve not even started on the Vance problem), or you don\u2019t belong. Except those we call Native Americans come from ancestors who immigrated here ten to twenty thousand years ago. I guess they don\u2019t belong either.<\/p>\n<p>Seriously, the fact that we are a nation of immigrants with multiple ethnicities must be erased from all official readings and in all government-supported educational settings. Lots of options for textbook publishers to increase their profit margins. Hmmmm . . .\u00a0 you may want to recognize a good investment opportunity here, possibly even better than Tesla stock.<\/p>\n<p>Those formerly known as \u201cwomen\u201d can now be called: \u201c[potential] breeding units.\u201d Those incapable of breeding can scrub floors, wash the bloody garments of the successful breeders, and quickly burn and dispose of the remains of those who die in the process. Otherwise, the \u201cbreedingless units\u201d will stay quiet and remain unseen.<\/p>\n<p>The new US mantra for those who might wish to come to this hallowed nation: \u201cOnly white-skinned (and we\u00a0<strong>will test<\/strong> for any drop of contamination), penis-bearers (which may be used only in the proven breeding units that are permitted to follow while carrying the luggage) shall be given entry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All the rest of you suckers? (The word \u201csuckers\u201d is OK, by the way): You don\u2019t even rate being second-class citizens. You don\u2019t exist. Don\u2019t even think about voting or speaking up. You are not human beings. You have no rights.<\/p>\n<p>Let us usher in the new utopia. This is Christian Nationalism at its very, very best: a pure, white, totally male-public\/female-hidden\/zero-acknowledgment-of-oppression-or-injustice society. It\u2019s going to be glorious!
