There’s plenty to mock when it comes to Canada, but we’ve got to hand it to the Canadian Cancer Society, at least … when it comes to getting the word oot aboot cancer screenings, they’re making sure they’ve got everyone covered. And we do mean everyone:
Aimee Terese (@aimeeterese) ~ “It can be difficult to make cancer screening a priority, especially when there's not a lot of information out there about cervical cancer risks for trans women. You may also be concerned about things like experiencing transphobia during the screening process.”
Uh ... the short and truthful answer to your pathetically ignorant question is: "No, because you are a biological male, and therefore, YOU DO NOT HAVE A CERVIX. However, you might be greatly helped by lobotomy surgery offered in the Psych Ward."
You know, before the Canadian Cancer Society came along and pointed it out to us, we had never really considered the dearth of information out there about cervical cancer risks for trans women. Of course, that may have had something to do with the fact that trans women cannot get cervical cancer.

Seriously, WTF?
Kayla Lemieux can get 75ZZZ prosthetic boobs if it floats her boat (actually, 75ZZZ prosthetic boobs may qualify as boats), but no matter how hard she tries, she can’t get cervical cancer. So she might as well go back to just being a dude.
You shouldn’t be concerned about experiencing transphobia during a cervical cancer screening; you should be concerned about looking like a complete idiot getting screened for cervical cancer when you don’t have a cervix.
Heather B (@BoulwareH2) ~ So wait, if you do not have a cervix and a doctor refuses to screen you for cervical cancer, the doctor is transphobic. Do I have this right?!?!
In Canada, it’s quite often a dumb time to be alive. But this is dumb even for them. ...
