Gender Discussion #7

[Enigmata]

Usually periods start getting closer together and then gradually further apart. I've posted in the Menopause thread some of the (random)symptoms to look out for so have a quick look on there. It's actually pretty sad that so few women know that this is an indicator of peri. If you have had anxiety or insomnia lately that will also be linked. It's not all hot flushes, I'm 6 years in and still haven't had a hot flush

I'm 46 and post-menopausal. Deep joy!!!

R.e Cali exodus - California has other problems. Apocalyptic forest fires, high cost of living, un-affordable housing in many areas. There are a few reasons why other states might hold attractions.

oh for sure, I just wonder if overly woke politics are a part of it too.

 

[Zenchick101]

I feel the same way about Canada. I almost moved there as a kid and always wished I had done but I think I'd go spare living there now.

I do wonder about Quebec since they seem to sometimes offer non-woke politics.

I know what you mean about the use of ‘dads’ v ‘breastfeeding partners’ but I haven’t read that as anything other than a catch all for wives and girlfriends - it’s just a neater way of saying it. However I do think if they have used ‘Dad’ then they should have used mother/mum because it’s pretty flipping sexist not to.

Is that a serious post?

 

[Lonelylondon]

She's definitely not a radical feminist if she believes TWAW and if she's bleating on about body hair as opposed to something like sex work

Well I say radical feminist just because she’s very big on talking about women’s rights etc, her and some friends have started an anti harassment campaign down in Brighton.. she’s very far left and very anti police etc and has her pronouns in her bio etc

 

[rosemarina]

It's very rude.

 

[SqualorVictoria]

Who is it that posted that?

 

[eucalyptus]

I don't think she is the kind of person to apologise tbh, I don't think she even did after running that person over

When did she run someone over? I know there was a fatal car accident but never heard of running someone over

Does it really need saying? Are we really 'discriminating' if we don't invite or mention a group of people to a medical procedure that is not relevant to them?

I was referring more to you saying you were going to start a campaign about not receiving a letter for prostate exams.

Yes its not perfect but the leaflet (which came with screening invite) does at least say women and people with a cervix and makes clear that only registered as female trans men will be invited. Those registered as male won't receive invites but need to contact the doctor or nurse if you have a cervix. There is also a helpful diagram on the next page that shows where your cervix is.Finally it explicitly states that trans women don't need cervical screening.

As I said in an earlier post assume this leaflet is or was probably generally available in doctors and clinics so would need to mention everyone. This way trans men who might otherwise be missed know they need to ring and trans women know not to bother.

Otherwise the leaflet would arrive in the post with the invite.

ETA the invite letter itself only mentions women

He’s waaay too right wing for me, but he’s hot

i would share a video from a leftist on this topic but.. it's pretty rare and not as well researched

 

[sephylily]

Who's that?

she's a legal trainee youtuber.

what is the book about?

 

[thegirlscout]

I think your right. But it’s either being kept quiet before the trial or a cover up

I don’t think there will be a trial because the person has admitted to it?

 

[thegirlscout]

The trial is happening at the moment and the perpetrator is indeed a TiM and definitely not female. He has recently plead guilty to murdering poor Phoenix Netts.

How do we know that the person is a TiM?

Is that a serious post?

Yes and it's not rude, it's fact, women have a small amount of testosterone, during peri it drops and we lose confidence and that can do attitude (not all women but lots) fundamentally some HRT will include microdosing of testosterone, particularly in the US, not so much in the UK but some GPs will prescribe if needed.

 

[rosemarina]

Just pick the next woman to come along instead.

 

[Notworthy]

Micro dosing testosterone doesn't automatically mean someone is transgender, plenty of peri menopausal women micro dose as it helps to regain the confidence lost during peri. Women have a small amount of testosterone anyway and microdosing won't give you the physical attributes of a Male but will help with confidence and ability to take risks.

Hello. The new CEO of the Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre was announced today. They are a ‘transwoman’ without a GRC. Supposedly they have also previously lied about that to acquire a previous job. I’m saddened by this.

what's BAME? BME? is it woc?

 

[thegirlscout]

I've no idea why trans women were even mentioned. Ridiculous

I guess it’s for those who have had surgery and are wondering if they might need to have the smear?
