I know this subject has been covered a lot but FFS this just nonsense. The HSE in Ireland have been tweeting for Cervical Cancer Prevention Week. Their animation only refers to people. No mention of women.

But they've illustrated every 'person' who might get cervical cancer as a person in a skirt Hmm How is that inclusive of female NBs and TM and exclusive of TW? How is the message made clear to its intended audience? Why do organisations for whom absolute clarity should be essential think this is the way to communicate?

Isn't the average reading age in the UK something like 12?

Ads like this exclude everyone who doesn't have a high education level. Or was raised by someone with a low educational level because you are probably relying on yr 7 biology lesson or something here.

And it excludes women with LDS, disabilities , EAL etc who need plain English.

Now that we have been idiots who allow people who don't believe in reality and biology to renive their sex markers from their medical records, ads like that don't even include trans men. Because they won't know it affects then unless they are told who it affects and why.

So who's this for ?

Well we know the answer to that don't we.

We live in a society we qouod rather women die in that men and males be told no.

What a bunch of hypocritical.arseholes . They can only do ads like this because " evil witches" like us do the rest for them

They look heavily pregnant to me - and we know that the only people who can get cervical cancer are also the only people who can get pregnant. But not all people who can get cervical cancer can get pregnant. It would be so much clearer if there was a word the HSE could use to describe these people.

Ahhhh but are they skirts or could they in fact be plus fours? Or even nonbimaries with huge bottoms?
