Experts reveal new name for vagina to avoid offending trans or non-binary patients

DAILY MAIL

Women have condemned a charity after it suggested the vagina could instead be referred to as ‘the bonus hole’ to avoid upsetting non-binary or trans men.

Female rights campaigners today rounded on the alternative glossary, branding it both ‘misogynistic’ and ‘utterly dehumanising’.

It is featured on charitable organisation Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust on a page for health professionals who are treating patients who have the disease.

Today the trust insisted it was not suggesting the term should be used by all women – but added it was important to reach trans men and non-binary people.

But the ‘bonus hole’ term – which the cause says was developed with expert organisations who work with the LGBT community – was widely condemned.

The page also features a suggestion that the vagina might also be referred to as a ‘front hole’
