So should I be worried if a young man starts to bleed? It's normal right?
When will our son's start their periods?

I love the phrase "young people who bleed all over Wales". Such bad grammar as well as erasing women and girls!

No, because you are forgetting about the many people who are not educated (and yes there are a lot in this country), who have minimal language comprehension skills, who speak English as a second language etc.
It's not clear, there is no clarity to their garbled mess of a message.
Needles to say the literature pertaining to men and male issues never changes.

It's easy for them to add a side not about trans men if they wanted to, but they decide, instead, to sweep women and girls off the face of the map.

Show quote history

Even those educated in the online culture wars can't keep up with the constantly changing language.

Transgender males may also have periods, need smear tests etc. I am sure you son will be fine if not born with female anatomy. I’m pretty sure you would have noticed that by now

"Transgender Males and Female Anatomy" a paradoxical fantasy jaunt by Temporaryname158

Chapter One:

A transgender male is a male with female anatomy, however he is still male, which is nothing and everything to do with genitals all at once and not at all....

'People who bleed across Wales' sounds even weirder. Like someone has cut their leg and is now running around Wales!

Whatwouldscullydo · 09/08/2022 10:17

Oh ffs.

If a boy or man starts bleeding from the genitals they need a dr.

If a girl reaches 16 and hasnt started her periods she needs to see a dr. Not to be able to believe she is just a person who doesn't bleed.

So sick of period no longer being a dirty word but women/girl being one instead.

Woman just means adult human female. Its inclusive of all identities held by female people aka women.

What is 'female anatomy'? Who has it?

This is a really good, clear article about the change by stealth and the damage done by it. The comments say it all.

Redefining girls as 'young people' is also disturbing. The correct words are girls, and children depending on the context. Young people could be any age.

All people bleed if they cut themselves. And bleeding from, say, the penis or the rectum is often a sign of a serious health problem.

So it needs to be more specific. Perhaps "people who bleed regularly from the vagina".

Or perhaps just refer to 'women and girls' ?

MagpiePi · 09/08/2022 10:13

Ridiculous! Like it says, they are trying to remove the stigma around periods but erasing women and girls in the process.

However, I did notice that the article refers to 'Trans woman, a male who turns female..' and similar phrases implying that transitioning changes a person's sex.

transgener males? your language is so tortured you are incapable of making sense.

I can assure you no-one born male will ever menstruate

I presume you are talking about trans men, a.k.a. transger females, byt really, who the fuck knows?

Exactly everyone bleeds. So it makes no sense.
