Just looked at Guardian article- now refers to women (no menstruators) and note added to say it was amended to more closely reflect the raw data.

The Guardian can have Caitlin Moran if Hadley goes over to the Times.

That sounds like a fair swop.

Times subscriber because of Janice here as well. Well, I came for Janice and stayed for the crossword and Sunday supplements.

The Guardian can have Caitlin Moran if the Hadley goes over to the Times.

Only thing I miss in the Guardian is the Ottolenghi recipes and Hadley but she’ll be joining the Times any moment now I’d have thought.

I love the killer sudoku too although I’ve yet to notice a difference between the ones that take 54 mins and the ones that take 56 mins. Obvs I finish them all in 15 mins Grin

I saw the Guardian referred to as "The Hackney Tatler" the other day. Grin

Cooroo · 26/10/2018 22:56

Like ErrolTheDragon I took out a sub for Janice, and stayed for the Killer Sudoku!

Had been a trusting Guardian reader for over 35 years. The last couple of years they have often been so 'woke' as to be a joke. It was the Guardian's reporting of a fell runner named Lauren Jeska who attempted to murder a UK athletics official that peak transed me. They never mentioned the rather important fact that Lauren was biologically male and that she was being investigated as to whether she met the criteria to compete as a female runner.
When a newspaper lets ideology get in the way of facts, it's fucked.

PeakTrans · 26/10/2018 22:43

This is me peak transient yet again

Love Janice

Guardian are a complete joke

ErrolTheDragon · 26/10/2018 20:33

'This article was amended on 26 October 2018 to more precisely link the language with the survey it describes.'

Wonder if they changed anything other than 'women' instead of 'menstruators'?

hackmum · 26/10/2018 20:07

Has anybody noticed the correction at the bottom of the article? They’ve changed it after complaints.

EverardDigby · 26/10/2018 19:32

I'm another one that used to subscribe to The Guardian (and before that had it delivered) but now have a Times subscription (just in case The Guardian is reading).

CoolGirlsNeverGetAngry · 26/10/2018 19:27

I’ve just informed my extremely woke dp that I cancelled our joint subscription to the Guardian on our joint amazon account and if he wants it he can pay for it out of his own pocket. I stopped reading a while ago but I’m ashamed to say I’ve only just got angry enough to cancel.

She’s not giving up!

I object to the bigoted excluding language in this
@guardian
article. How dare they use “men”. Not all men have prostates. Some women have prostates. The term should be “prostate owners”.

rightreckoner · 25/10/2018 23:10

I think there are other brands that do actually permit themselves to use the word woman. I’d definitely be boycotting thinx if I weren’t a former menstruator - now a non-menstruator - and thus more like a cis man really than any sort of a woman.

VelvetReVulva · 25/10/2018 23:04

I was wondering if this was because of an overzealous attempt to not offend trans men, rather than trans women, not sure they’ve actually complained about it though?!

Annoyingly I’ve wanted to buy some Thinx pants for ages but now can’t as they’ve pissed me off with their ‘people with periods’ shit.

pachyderm · 25/10/2018 22:50

The responses to that tweet ffs....My mother and daughter do not menstruate; they are respectively too old and too young. All three of us are still FEMALE though and not remotely excluded from any article relating to women's health.

LondonPainter · 25/10/2018 22:49

Adding my name to an already long list! I used to be a fully committed Guardian reader of their typical demographic (public sector, left wing) and never thought I'd take a Murdoch paper. Last year I took out a subscription to the Times purely on the strength of Janice's writing.

KataraJean · 25/10/2018 22:26

Agree with this thread, Janice is excellent

SirVixofVixHall · 25/10/2018 22:20

I’m a Times subscriber too. I no longer get the Observer, after many decades. I used to buy the Guardian whenever I wanted a daily paper, but I stopped a while ago.
