Australia’s Largest Christian News Site

The departments and charities long tasked with helping women are now trolling them. If I identify as a cervix owner, can I get a Pap smear?

“Women and people with a cervix aged 25 to 74 years of age are invited to have a Cervical Screening Test every 5 years through their healthcare provider.”

So says the Australian Department of Health and Aged Care website on its National Cervical Screening Program portal. Browse the various links on the site and you’ll quickly find the “people with a cervix” language littered everywhere.

Since ancient times, we have known that women have a cervix and men do not. So who are the other “people” Australia’s peak health body could possibly be referring to? And what strange alchemy led them to believe that non-women can also posses a cervix?

When I was young, 2024 sounded like a bold and futuristic year — a time of robots, flying cars and colonies in space.

Instead, we got men with a cervix.

It Began With the Un-Definition of Marriage

We’ve gone backwards. The science of sexual dimorphism has officially been lost to time, buried like the lost city of Atlantis. Australia’s government has misplaced the Rosetta Stone of basic anatomy.

Or has it?

Deep down, of course, the Minister for Health and Aged Care, Mark Butler — along with his $98-billion-per-year department’s 5,600 employees — knows that only women have a cervix.

But they have caved to transgender activists, and allowed one of the nation’s most sprawling government departments to be overrun by radical gender ideology.

All to appease the angry few.

In 2017, Australia scorned millennia of wisdom by un-defining marriage. All it took was a few years more to un-define sex, and erase women entirely.

If you think I’m exaggerating, watch former Department of Health Secretary Dr Brendan Murphy squirm in his chair when asked by Senator Alex Antic to define “woman”:

According to Dr Murphy, I’m a woman if I feel like it. And according to Australia’s Health Department, I can have a cervical screening test if I identify as a cervix-haver. Maybe they’ll throw in Pap smear if I sweeten the deal with lipstick and a dress?

‘It’s Sending Women Backwards’

As the Health Department’s website explains, their “people with a cervix” nonsense comes from the National Strategy for the Elimination of Cervical Cancer in Australia — a November 2023 document produced by the non-profit Australian Centre for the Prevention of Cervical Cancer (ACPCC).

The 68-page strategy paper is peppered with woke jargon, including apology footnotes throughout that the sources they quote aren’t up to scratch on all things Queer Theory.

I even checked the Australian Cervical Cancer Foundation (ACCF) website to see if the nation’s other major cervical cancer charity has caved to woke dogma.

It has — the “people with a cervix” language is everywhere.

The government departments and charities in Australia that are supposed to help women are now trolling them.

But it goes beyond mockery and betrayal. More than a con, so called gender-neutral language is dangerous. People’s lives are at risk — all for woke brownie points.

As Stephanie Bastiaan of Women’s Forum Australia told Sky News this week, pretending that non-women also have a cervix skews Australia’s medical data and risks people being harmed by misdiagnosis.

“We already know that there are patients who presented at hospital as one gender and [were] treated according to that gender instead of their sex. People have been injured and some have even died,” she explained during her interview on The Rita Panahi Show.

“This ideology is anti-woman, it’s anti-family, it’s anti-free speech, and it’s anti-science,” she added.

“It is really changing the construct of our society and it’s sending women backwards.”

Rita Panahi agreed, explaining, “This assault against language isn’t an accident. It’s very much a part of cultural Marxism. We mustn’t cede linguistic territory to radicals.”

Getting Back to Basics

Cultural Marxism, also known as Western Marxism, is a dead-end road. But the word of God endures forever.

“So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.” (Genesis 1:27)

It’s time for Australia to get back to the basics. There’s no better place to start than the first book of the Bible and the basic facts of biology.
