So after my complaint about "people with periods" last week, looks like I will be doing the same again for "people" who get breast cancer. Breast Cancer Care stats confirm that 99% of those affected are women, not that you'd know from this article.

The BBC's drive to use gender-neutral language will end with the same nonsense that the Green Party did when AC and chums altered their language and constitutions.

There will no longer be FGM, there will be People Whose Genitals Are Mutilated - not really quite the same thing.

They won't be able to report FGM - and how will they cover sex-detection as a precursor to selective foeticide or infanticide for girls?

It's so insidious as well, but the word is just being erased under our noses.

I just saw that and thought the same.

Can i also draw attention to this article that I read some time ago. I'm not sure if anyone else posted about it on FWR at the time.

Apologies if considered a derail, if so I'll self report and have this post removed.

The piece is about bras :

I've got their complaint form on my home screen now.
Pathetic.

Maybe they'll give us a badge or a sticker 'menstruators'
