I’ve just seen the message in my inbox from Yoga with Adriene saying that she’s done a redo of her really popular ‘Yoga for Cramps and PMS for Women’ video to remove the reference to ‘Hey Ladies’ etc and make it all gender neutral, to be inclusive.

I actually just feel really sad now. I feel excluded as a woman, there’s nowhere that’s safe where I don’t have to consider men first.

Yes, it’s just this one Tequila as it was the only woman specific one.

I do her yoga videos and there can't be many that this applies to - is it just this one? She doesn't just do videos for women does she?

Yes, agree. She’s posted on Twitter about it and it’s just people saying well done. I’m not sure I have it in me to disagree on there today. I love Adriene so it makes me question myself on this 😩

I've just seen this email too and came here to see if there was a thread about it. I think I feel sad that this ideology is so pervasive and confused that it's seen as progressive.

I know what you’re saying @TequilaPilates and you may be right but it still feels the same. As though the language referring to experiences only women have is being amended to refer to everyone except women. It’s almost as though ‘woman’ has begun to mean nothing and everything all at once. That I shouldn’t really use it at all.

Is it to do with men though? I thought in instances like this it's out of consideration for trans men?
