"It's an actual fact that not just women experience periods"

It's not only women that will experience periods, however, we're led to believe that it is just cis women who menstruate.

who’s leading people to believe that only cis women have periods?

I've actually never heard of that …til now obvs

It is the emptiest of virtue signalling.

Is Kenny the person who didn't like venus symbols on packaging is spite of the fact that their mother did all the buying and their periods stopped on testosterone?

One day they will look back and cringe at this nonsense. As if teens will be able to afford their make up anyway.

Girl just means juvenile human female.
Woman- adult human female.

It covers all and no gender identities.

You cant be non binary as that's a third category so doesn't even make sense. Everyone has a sex. You don't menstruate with your identity.

Identity is irrelevant to any biological function.

This just makes them.look like idiots. Identity matters only to the person involved . No one is obligated to play along. Stick to selling make up.

'a face goop company' - perfect.

Eh? how on earth does that work. Never heard of Laurie Penney, buy JJ is a (biological) woman, married to a (biological)man but identifies as 'queer'.

You've also exactly described LP.

we're led to believe that it is just cis women who menstruate.

I don't even know what that means. I'm not "cis" and I am currently menstruating. No one ever led me to believe that I couldn't.

"It would also cover Jameela Jamil and Laurie Penney, who are both 'queer', present as female and are married to males."

Eh? how on earth does that work. Never heard of Laurie Penney, buy JJ is a (biological) woman, married to a (biological)man but identifies as 'queer'.

That must be a new definition of queer that just means 'please look at me, I'm special'.

I’m a woman and I no longer experience periods?

Well yes, not all women experience them at all times in their lives. But only women and girls do.

AKA spicy straights

If Kenny didn't realise they had a cervix (even though they have the full compliment of menstruating female anatomy) and therefore should have regular smears then Kenny must be a bit simple really. How was this not bloomin' obvious to Kenny? 😂

Or,

'Make up for anyone,'

They include non binary people so that can be male or female!
That twitter thread is funny 'if you are a trans girl you might not get your period'. Though I was reading a twitter thread the other day where a transwoman claimed having a period and lots of people in comments going wow I didn't know that could happen! Doh!

An actual fact.

Since they are a cosmetics company, a better and far more fitting slogan would be,

'It's and actual fact that it's not just women that wear mascara!'

I really don’t care about how people identify. But there’s a lot of ‘sex is biologically make or female’ and that’s not strictly true.

Sex is defined by your chromosomes, genitalia, visible physical characteristics and hormone profile. There is a LOT of scope for those not to all be typically male or female. Hermaphroditism, to varying degrees, is a biological reality and not a freak rarity.

I won't be buying benefit makeup again

I read the other day that it is possible - sorry, VALID is probably the preferred term - for a trans-identifying person to have the following characteristics:

Sex: M (or F)
Gender identity: F (or M)
Gender expression: M (or F)

No, me neither.

That would seem to cover the cases mentioned here, and the Tory MP who has declared a trans identity but is retaining birth name and not changing clothing/hairstyle etc for the time being. It would also cover Jameela Jamil and Laurie Penney, who are both 'queer', present as female and are married to males.

It reinforces what I've always thought. This is a clique and to get into the clique your face has to fit and you have to parrot the right jargon. Older women are mostly written off as too dull, closed minded and thick to gain admittance.

How about

“People with uteruses can menstruate. In all cases these people are females who have reached puberty. This group of people are biologically known as ‘women’”

Is this the company that gives its products weird, sexualised names or is that some other 'quirky' 'down with the kids" brand?

Note to self, don't buy Benefit anymore.

They are absolutely correct … female apes and monkeys menstruate , I believe, and they’re not women. Not sure why a face goop company is giving us a zoological lesson though.

Seriously, enough with this coy pretence that the word woman means anything other than human female. Trans men and female non binaries are women.

Yes quite! A bold statement that then goes on to say non binary and transmen also have periods. no shit sherlock! Why are they so concerned about two minority groups that are least likely to use their products??

I have an acquaintance who’s biologically female, uses a female name, dresses in a feminine way and wears makeup, is not attracted to women and is married to a man. But they are gender neutral and queer. I’m immensely puzzled by this and it’s one of the reasons why I think we need to stick to talking about biological sex.

Look, transmen are women; non-binary people are either male or female. It's really not all that complicated, despite a few people trying very hard to make it look that way.

The words Man and Woman have become totally meaningless. They basically refer to gender now, which is merely a social construct and has no basis in biology. I think we need to focus on male and female sexes. You can identify as man, woman, gender free, non binary, or even as a broccoli if you like. What matters is that only the female sex has periods.
