As noted here: https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-03-27-future-of-fake-medicine-woke-doctors-working-on-woke-patients-make-believe-anatomy.html, the Canadian Cancer Society, according to social media reports, is now allegedly recommending trans-women consider screenings for "neo-cervix" cancer: https://cancer.ca/en/cancer-information/find-cancer-early/screening-in-lgbtq-communities/trans-woman-or-nonbinary-person-assigned-male-at-birth-do-i-need-cervical-cancer-screening.
Now these trans women do not have a cervix, so the question has to be asked, how is it possible for someone with no cervix to get cervical cancer? Consider a parallel question, that humans do not have gills, like fish. Could a human therefore get cancer of the non-existent gills? It might be a non-existent cancer. But if so, how does this differ from no cancer at all?
However, there is more to this story if we fact check it, which Natural News.com did not do.
According to AP though the social media posts are misleading:

"If you're a trans woman, you may not have given much thought to Pap tests and cervical cancer. And if you haven't, that makes a fair amount of sense. After all, in order to get cervical cancer, you need to have a cervix — that is, the organ that connects the vagina to the uterus," the opening paragraph states. "If you're a trans woman and have not had bottom surgery, you aren't at risk for cervical cancer." "The page goes on to explain that some trans women who have had bottom surgery to create a vagina, also called a vaginoplasty, and possibly a cervix, may be at "a small risk" of developing cancer in the tissues of their "neo-vagina or neo-cervix."
"The risk depends on the type of surgery you had, the type of tissue used to create your vagina and cervix and your personal health history," the guidance clarifies. "Talk to your healthcare provider to figure out your specific cancer-screening needs as part of your overall pelvic health following surgery."
That does make more sense. Still, I wonder, for how long with tampons in men's toilets.
