Menopause App - look for the missing word

I guess it's more for FTM, in a direct sense. But any female bodied language attached to "women" is objectionable for MTF people.

On Reddit, after r/gendercritical was recently banned, three main subreddits (r/pregnancy, r/PCOS and r/periods) relating to exclusively women's health issues have been brigaded and now have to use "inclusive" language and have MTF moderators and members or have been forced to go private. An attempt was made to set up a woman-centred PCOS subreddit but this was closed down like r/gendercritical.

Dr Louise Newsom always comes across as very no nonsense, I can't see her using compromised language on such an important app, and honestly I can't see many MTF claiming to be menopausal. It doesn't really fit with the whole.... thing

And red bull know what a woman is...

Jesus, what crap.

Btw, this app is great and was developed for the chelsea women's football team to support their training regime.

It's free and actually has the word woman in it.

There’s another magnetic north article about balance
thisismn.com/news/femtech-its-all-about-balance

In this they manage to use the word ‘woman’, and even have pictures of women!

I wonder if they’ve been got at between the two articles?

It doesn't appear to be the doctor's own wording.

They've tweeted about this but it looks as if nobody sees their account - which given their inability to use the word woman in relation the the menopause is probably a good thing.

Newson Health has been created to allow women to receive unbiased, evidence-based advice and treatment for their perimenopause and menopause. We have created our menopause and wellbeing centres, in Stratford-upon-Avon and the North West, to be centres of excellence providing care to women of all ages.

The doctor's clinic.

You can't "put it on to feel more like a woman

Maybe for a few years he is going to go to bed with several heated blankets that turn on randomly through out the night and/or set his alarm so he wakes up after 3 hours sleep and has to get up and function throughout the day and he is going to eat himself silly and put on 2 stone and not lose it

I actually wondered that too.

But it's not simulating menopause is it.

No, of course it isn't. I refrained from adding that the person would revert to looking like any other late middle aged male in pretty short order. Rather than a late middle aged female. Did they think you can't actually tell the difference or something?

You do get a free invisibility cloak with it though. By the time you are in your 70s, it works brilliantly. No one gives a shit about 70 year old women. And they barely notice you once you are biologically useless to society as a woman.

The menopause is not a fucking eyeliner. You can't "put it on to feel more like a woman". It fucks up your life if you don't manage it carefully with support from your gp along with important meds (if you want them) which are currently in short supply.
So fuck off anyone who wants to simulate it. Why not ask your MP why there are shortages of HRT. They might give a shit as long as you don't say you actually need it.

I did actually once speak to an MTF trans person who planned to simulate menopause when middle aged

The mind boggles. How can you simulate the stopping of something that you didn’t have in the first place

Maybe it is for the Male menopause as well as the female menopause.
Maybe men can chart their testosterone levels etc

Not downloaded the app but maybe it is for both biological men as well as women

If it isn’t then the wording is strange and misleading.

But it's not simulating menopause is it.

While transmen will get chucked into sudden menopause if they have a hysterectomy.

I did actually once speak to an MTF trans person who planned to simulate menopause when middle aged. But only one.

Blimey.

It’s not as if MTF people even bother to approximate menopause - they continuously take cross sex hormones to levels associated with women in the reproductive stages of life, they don’t adjust to imitate the hormonal drop actual women experience at peri and post menopausal stages.

Hmm I think the current male preferences for names will work?

Old bags/ bats
Mutton dressed as lamb
Past it
Etc etc
I mean the ones that can even see women over 40, obviously

It might be a problem with magnetic north more than the balance app itself. I looked up a video of the doctor talking about the app and she used the word women... also the first thing to come up on Google about the balance app contained the word woman.

Have they found a word to replace woman? - 'menopauser', 'menopausee'??

There are next to no middle aged FTM people who have to worry about menopause. Plenty the other way round. For reasons that we are not allowed to say. This is entirely about men controlling the use of the word woman. This disgusts me.
