In a similar vein, Samsung Health app's period tracker is in a box titled Women's Health.
It's weird that'd be considered controversial! I'd rather that kind of stuff be put somewhere that I can easily identify it as irrelevant to me.

In fact, if the app asked me for my sex and then auto-hid things that don't correspond to my sex I'd appreciate that even more. But I can see some people getting very annoyed by that.

Another lunatic
" I'm gender-elastic, as I see it as a super-hero mode"

I see it as a loon.
I see it as desperation to stay relevant anyway he can. When I wear trousers I don't think for a millisecond I'm in boy mode. He can wear the duck he wants but it doesn't mean a thing.

Going back to the point about encouraging south Asian women to go for their smear test. I’m not suggesting that all South Asian women don’t speak English, or have only a limited knowledge of it, but there is surely a percentage who don’t, and nonsense language like “anyone with a cervix” is not helpful.

I've been using a Mooncup for about 25 years, single purchase so really cheap per use, no monthly waste and no worries about the ethics of who I'm buying off every month. Won't need it much longer thankfully due to my age but it's been a total game changer.

I saw that photo of Eddie Izzard yesterday. Isn’t it amazing that all AGPs seem to end up wearing ridiculous outfits more suitable for women 40 years younger than them? I mean, can you think of many 60 year old women who would wear a Zara mini dress, especially if they were as broad around the middle as Eddie is?

But it’s never about wearing age appropriate, flattering women’s clothes. If it doesn’t give them a boner they don’t want to wear it.

Apologies if this has been posted - it's been a busy day and we missed Eddie Izard going on holidays :rolleyes:

One of the comments - "I must congratulate you eddy. Thats the first time you made me laugh "

He looks utterly ridiculous.

I get really pissed off with the 'teaching children to be fabulous' crap as well. It's actually teaching children to be superficial. Theres nothing fabulous about that. It's fake. It's telling children that if they want to be 'fabulous' then make up is the way to go. What nonsense. Do you know who is fabulous? Every woman in Englands women's football. They're fabulous. JK Rowling is fabulous. Marie Curie was beyond fabulous. Fake bits and make up isn't fabulous at all. We should encourage our kids to do much more in their lives than that.
Spot on! Telling everyone they need to be fabulous just leads them into a never ending quest to be nOT lIKe oTHer pEOple and to be dissatisfied with being mundane. Most teens transing themselves are those brought up to be told that being average and boring is a crime.

The volunteer interviewed mentioned that they had interpreters available so it did seem that they were trying to get their message over to those with limited knowledge of English. She also said that a lot of the women who came to the information sessions weren't used to being listened to in their communities which I thought was very sad. I saw another interview a while back where a GP said that there isn't even a word for menopause in some S. Asian languages. It seems like women's health issues are just something that these women don't speak about and are expected to put up with.

Clear and easy to understand language is very important, which is why I don't like how 'inclusive' language becomes anything but sometimes. I've had to write patient information sheets for work and I was told that you have to aim them at someone who has a reading age of 14 so if you can't avoid using medical terms, you need to define them. You don't use ambiguous language that can be misunderstood by the patient. If you aren't familiar with your anatomy, you could be forgiven for thinking "cervix-haver' doesn't refer to you.

Not to be flippant but 'chest-feeding' just makes me think of that scene with John Hurt in Alien!

This head thinks size of tampon relates to size of tina - what a male assumption.

Size of tampon is related to menstrual flow, it is dangerous to use a more absorbent tampon than you need as it can lead to Toxic Shock Syndrome. TSS can kill - it is important to use the minimum absorbancy required to manage your period.

Dylan Mulvaney is a dangerous idiot, and what are Tampax doing having any connection with him?
He knows nothing about menstruation because he is a man, why not use a woman to promote a product that is soley for women and girls, absolutely disgraceful 😡
Exactly. There are probably 3.5 billion women they could have chosen 1 from to advertise, but no, they say let a man do it 🙄

Shame on Tampax for this pandering.
How can someone that purports to be a "woman" be so ignorant of female anatomy?
Or maybe thats the point, if he did have any comprehension of the female body it would become immediately obvious that he doesn't apply and never will.
Men do not need tampons and its offensive to have them think that they do.
It would fit Tampax better to concentrate on the people that actually need their products, maybe do more to educate girls about periods and how they are nothing to be ashamed of and help alleviate period poverty, but no, let's get a creepy weirdo to fetishise sanitary products. Sick.

I was looking at jobs with my local council and noticed 'trans positive' employee. Its a receptionist job
Yeah as I said in the other thread it’s my fear they’re going to start doing affirmative action for trans people. Which means men will be taking womens’ jobs- hardly diverse :(
