Orwellian terminology

Let us recall how George Orwell coined the phrase "doublespeak":

"Doublethink is a word coined by George Orwell for the novel 1984.

Doublespeak is the use of euphemistic or ambiguous language in order to disguise what one is actually saying."

A very blatant example of doublespeak in the 2010s and later:

Describing the destruction of people's genitals as
"Gender affirmation".

Destruction is Affirmation.
Sure.
And
War Is Peace. 
Freedom Is Slavery. 
Ignorance Is Strength.

Could there be a more blatant example of doublespeak?

Here's in utter contempt of the doctors of medicine and philosophy who promote such evil practices 
and dishonest and disingenuous speech.
