Why am I not surprised this is happening in California?
Having an “outie” doesn’t mean what it used to.
California pediatrician Dr. Ilana Sherer is purportedly calling for penises to be renamed as “outies, and vaginas to be coined as “innies” in a bid to make medical terminology more inclusive.
Sherer, a Palo Alto Medical Foundation/Sutter Health physician, reportedly recommended the more gender-neutral language while presenting at the American Academy of Pediatrics’ (AAP) National Conference & Exhibition last weekend.
According to the presentation slides obtained by Manhattan Institute fellow Leor Sapir and posted on X, formerly Twitter, doc also suggested clitorises be coined “d–klets”.
She further proposed the words “junk” and “bits” as alternatives to “‘masculine’ parts,” and “chest” or “chesticles” for breasts, which she describes as “‘feminine’ parts.”
Vaginas could also be renamed as “front-holes” according to the progressive practitioner.
Sherer’s updated terminology, however, has not been formally adopted by the AAP, despite the fact it has also encouraged for gender-neutral language and has advised physicians to avoid binary phrases — such as “opposite” sex or gender — unless necessary.
Sherer is the latest doc to appeal for more inclusive terminology in medicine, as understandings of gender and sex start to shift among the community at large.
According to the APP, “gender identity is not synonymous with sexual orientation.”
While sex, which is assigned at birth, pertains to the male, female or intersex reproductive organs, gender refers to the social constructs of man or woman based on behaviors, traits, roles and other norms, according to the World Health Organization.
According to progressive experts and organizations, gender, traditionally believed to be binary, is now considered a spectrum that includes, but is not limited to, nonbinary, genderfluid, transgender and cisgender men and women, meaning that their gender identity corresponds with their sex assigned at birth.
Some experts believe that, because a person’s biological sex is independent of their gender identity, there is a need for gender neutral language, with industry professionals in favor of the term “birthing person” or “pregnant person” in lieu of “woman.”

This "agenda" is appearing in several different articles and publications. While I agree that the more outlandish the narrative is, the more likely it is to be picked up and printed somewhere. What bugs me is how so many of these perversions are being perpetuated by people like pediatricians, teachers, anyone who has authority over children and their lives - but rarely the parents.
Just let kids be kids and keep identity politics away from them and everyone else.

My argument is that the language is crude and inelegant as well as somewhat dehumanizing. If we ever want to use a different vocabulary for genitals in a certain context surely it shouldn't be such silly terms thought up by some heifer with a raging agenda.

Right, so according to the "everything is merely a subjective interpretation" ideology, we shouldn't even be having a debate because any accusation can also be turned towards the other side with equal validity. Well that's just your interpretation, no that's just your interpretation, ad infinitum.

Please… its implied.
What I said can be categorically demonstrated. It objectively fits in those categories.
Unless a 500 pound bitch can be put into the category hot and Jessica Alba can be put into the category ugly.
