An LGBT organization and a leading cervical cancer charity are recommending that people refer to vaginas as “bonus holes” in order to be more inclusive of women who think they are men.
“It is important to check which words someone would prefer to use,” their guide on ‘Language to use when supporting trans men and/or non-binary people’ warns.
The glossary of terms published by Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust, in partnership with the LGBT Foundation, also suggests “front hole” as an “alternative word for the vagina”, alongside explainers on more “traditional” terminology such as “microaggressions”, “misgendering,” and “deadnaming”.
“Remember, everyone makes mistakes from time to time,” the guide generously suggests, adding that it is “important that you acknowledge them, correct yourself, learn from them, and move on.”
Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust is funded by British taxpayers, as well is the LGBT Foundation. Described in 2019 by Baroness Susan Williams – then Minister for Equalities, now Chief Whip for the government in the House of Lords – as one of a number of LGBT groups doing “incredibly important to the work of the Government Equalities Office and the advancement of equality in the UK.”
The so-called Conservative Party has governed Britain for 13 years.
