This app is from a woman too - Dr Louise Newson, and, I think a female led agency.

The “Carla” version is for women. By a woman, too.

Had a quick search. Is the word Woman not used anywhere on the app?
Bingo

Aimed at 50% of the population, hmm? Which 50% will that be? The ones with surnames A to M? The ones below 5'6" in height? The ones with dark hair? How do I know if I'm in the demographic that needs this app? I am deeply puzzled, I tell you.

Thank fuck my GP is happy to talk to me about women's health issues when I go in for my annual review of my HRT needs.

You have to download it to review it on the App Store but worth doing.

Bloody hell.

And there are almost no late transitioning FTM people. Is this, therefore, meant to make the MTF feel welcome?

I don't get it.
