CN: This Primer does include some terms that are generally considered offensive in order to educate folks on why these terms are not okay. Generally, those terms will be put in “quotes” to designate that they are complicated, problematic, or inaccurate.
This Primer also includes somewhat graphic descriptions of common medical procedures in order to educate folks on what these procedures entail. We will designate these graphic descriptions with a Content Note (CN). We try to include CN where necessary but if we have failed this on some level, please let us know so we can correct it! We want the people who use this guide to be able to avoid potentially triggering descriptions if we can help it.
