    How insecure do you have to be in yourself and the size of your hands to reach this level of pettiness?

    As per the original report on 404 media, it’s not just women, but also underrepresented groups/people, indigenous people, and more.

    Anyway, the Gizmodo story has a comment which is as funny as it is on point, and it is worrying that it sounds so plausible:

    > In his order, Trump also demanded that black holes be renamed to "space holes" and any mention of binary stars be scrubbed completely as the term implies the existence of stars that are non-binary.

    "In a memo sent out on January 22, NASA employees were ordered to “scrub” mentions certain terms from the agency’s websites by end of day"
