It's funded? Can women with pcos get laser funded? I have a really bad issue with chin hair that gets me so down
No, even women who suffer with recurring foliculitis (a very painful infection of the hair follicles) for which in many cases, laser is the only permanent cure can't get it on the NHS.

Just read this fantastic review of controversial Australian feminist Clementine Ford's new book, I Don't: The Case Against Marriage that includes some great call-outs of her hypocrisy around hating men but loving trans. Good read 👍🏼

(Especially so for anyone like me who used to be a Clem fan but has waned over time - this perfectly articulates a lot of my feelings I've struggled to put a finger on!)

Oh my - over on threads they are currently transing Kurt Cobain and gloating about the ‘transphobes losing their tit. I had Charles Clymer blocked on Twitter but X keeps putting threads in my Instagram and I need to quit it in the new year becuase it’s annoying me. Just because he wore feminine clothes and has long hair and it’s all ‘he would have loved being called trans’. He died before most of these activists were born, they need to leave dead people alone.

Yes, I used to follow her and quite like her stance on some things but the ‘TERF free zone’ rubbish repels me. Does she not realise you can’t be a feminist and support men dressing up as women and invading our spaces?

Checked out flowette and while it's great they use the word woman the way they skirt around telling exactly what materials they use is very annoying. I wish these companies were less waffly. Just give me the specs not the product lifestory 😒
I have 2 pairs of flowette period pants and they are good, the ones for heavier days are a bit 'crinkly', like not super noisy but I feel like I can hear them when I walk, like a thin nappy 😂😂. They are easy to use, easy to wash and seem to still be in good condition after a few months' wears.

I'd imagine the period pants industry would be the most trans identified period business because it would help keep up the illusion. I'm guessing a TiM wouldn't be able to wear a tampon, you aren't meant to use them when you aren't menstruating and it could be harmful, they could use a sanitary towel but it would be immediately obvious every time they went to the bathroom that they didn't need it as they are all white usually, and so period pants could be worn to keep the illusion up as they seem to mostly be black and you could just pretend you had a period. So the actual need for sanitary wear would be for women, and that would include TiFs, but the TiMs need some sort of dress up period stuff, and the related "I need a hot water bottle" for my aches and pains

Kemi smashing it again. If she was Conservative leader, I genuinely believe that they would walk the election. Labour bang on about equality and diversity but it's only white men that get selected as party leader.

Clementine is clearly extreme but the reviewer seems to be at the ‘not all men’ and ‘women abuse too’ end of the feminist scale though.

I particularly disliked ‘Is it any surprise that so many men now want to be women? Who would be a man in such a world?’ And apparently that’s due to, in the most part “hurt, lonely, overburdened, or vulnerable women” who have been “whipped into a frenzy of fear and loathing for men” by Clementine.

So it’s the fault of women than men want to be women 🤷🏼‍♀️ poor men.

Mary Earps won BBC sports personality of the year - Twitter is a binfire but she won a public vote. Third woman in a row so obviously that’s now a problem!

duck off you gaslighting people. The only people who need educating are your marketing team.

FFS. Again, women are being told to “educate themselves” and to be an “empathetic ally”. It’s the same as “Be kind” to me. Sorry but I have zero sympathy for them. Real women experiencing real periods just have to get on with it. Plus having to put up with sneery comments about it being “The time of the month” If we’re not all sweetness and light. I don’t want to be an ally to anyones fetishes thanks very much and I don’t need to educate myself on biology either. I’m glad I’m post menopausal as for one, I hated having periods and for two, I don’t have to look for products that are advertised for purpose rather than being aimed for weirdos at being inclusive 🙄

“Since trans women usually don't have these reproductive organs, they do not experience periods in the same way cis women do. Their biology is different, but that doesn't define their identity”

I think they’ll find that “Transwomen” NEVER have female reproductive organs.
What kind of simpleton writes this stuff 😡
I really want to know how this all works when not one single solitary ****** will ever have a period. What are they using these period products for? It’s just so ludicrous preparing for an

posted before I’d finished! No TW has ever had or will ever have a period so what are they using the products for? Why are they preparing for a period that’s never going to arrive? Make it make sense!

All this period product guff reminds me of a joke that was doing the rounds when I was a young girl. The Tampax ads were very aspirational....
A young boy goes into the chemists and asks for a box of Tampax. The assistant asks why he wants them as they're not really for boys.
He says..."But I want to run, jump, swim, play tennis and ride a horse, just like the girls do"
Typical 70's Tampax ad...

Giving women tips on how to be supportive allies to men pretending to have their period. When women are the ones who actually get periods. bleeping madness.


Heads up the page 'exploring the facts', goes on to spout utter fiction.

There is something very offensive in the way they insist that people were trans who aren’t around to speak for themselves. I find it really disrespectful , especially as they are all outraged at any instance of a trans person being ‘misgendered’ after they die. I’ve seen people on Twitter claiming that Joan of Arc was trans! More generally, I think the way they go around trying to recruit others, dead or alive, is a really bad look. On one hand they strongly deny that trans is a social contagion and post their little graphs about left handedness anytime it comes up, but they’re so quick to gloat about how many of their friends they’ve converted (“cracked their egg” :sick: ) as if it’s a competition. I’ve seen people say stuff like “if you’ve ever for one moment wondered what it would be like to be the opposite sex, then you’re trans, because cis people never think about things like that” so their bar for who is trans is also very low and it’s no wonder impressionable young people who are already feeling a bit insecure get swept up into it.

Rewriting history is always a tell tale sign you're not on the morally good side of it yourself in my opinion.

Over the years I've probably said "I'm coming back as a man!" countless times. Am I trans then? No absolutely not. I am woman, hear me roar!
