Pavlo Gonchar/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Referring to people as “elderly,” “uninsured” or an “inmate” is apparently dehumanizing and not “inclusive,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
In what appears to be a recently published guide , the CDC lists numerous descriptors and phrases that it says aren’t inclusive before providing a list of “non-stigmatizing’ language. The guide includes multiple sections, grouping terms under banners like “Disability” and “Homelessness” before saying those very words aren’t inclusive enough.
For example, under the disability heading, the guide says that words like “disabled,” “differently abled” and “handicapped” are stigmatizing and should be replaced with lengthy phrases like “people with disabilities/a disability” or “people who use a wheelchair or mobility device.”
“CDC is aware that some individuals with disabilities prefer to use identity-first terminology, which means a disability or disability status is referred to first; for the purposes of these guidelines, CDC promotes person-first language,” the guide says.
Most of the guide is similar, suggesting the shorter identifier is wrong but simply adding “people with” ahead of that to apparently make it more inclusive.
The guide’s headlines are in alphabetical order, so the first section is titled “Corrections & Detentions” and suggests words like “inmate,” “prisoner,” “convict/ex-convict,” “offender,” “criminal,” “parolee” and “detainee” are all stigmatizing. Instead, the CDC suggests using the following terms: People/persons who are incarcerated or detained (often used for shorter jail stays or youth in detention facilities)
Partner/child of an incarcerated person

People who were formerly incarcerated Persons on parole or probation Non-US citizens (or immigrants) in immigration detention facilities People in immigration detention facilities The guide continues in this way. Under the section titled “Drug/Substance Use,” the CDC suggests not calling people “alcoholics,” “smokers,” or “drug-users,” but instead using phrases like “persons with substance use disorder” or “people who smoke.”As for “elderly,” the CDC recommends calling people “older adults or elders” or referring to people by age ranges.Instead of saying “underserved people,” the guide suggests saying “people who are underserved by [specific service/resource].” It also suggests saying “People who are uninsured/people […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
