State of this. I feel a campaign coming on.

(a colleague shared this from an ACAS Menopause webinar.)

What transwomen experience if their cross sex hormones are interrupted is not menopause. The clue is in the effing name. They have no meno to pause. In the same way that a man having hormone treatment for prostate cancer experiencing side effects is not having menopause symptoms. FFS. Nevermind the whole psychological aspect of fertility ending and attitudes towards ageing women from society.

“It is important for employers to be aware of all the people who might go through the menopause or menopause symptoms”

What utter clowns 🤡
How the fuck are employers going to be aware of which people go through the menopause if the educators can’t even bring themselves to name who those people are?

”training staff on how to communicate effectively can help”

🤡🤡🤡🤡

What are the “physical symptoms” of the menopause that have a significant impact on employers?

What are the “psychological symptoms” of the menopause that have a significant impact on employers?

And what is the mechanism by which that “significant impact” takes effect on an employer?

Fucksake, ACAS.

Was there another slide that explained what the menopause actually is?

I can’t see a description, definition or explanation of the menopause in those so-called “Key Points”

"Sex assigned at birth" Hmm

Women - half the population - don't get a mention, but half the presentation there is at great pains to describe VSD/DSD issues and trans issues.

Well, as much as I appreciate the travisty that menopause literature doesn't even mention women, there is quite a large group of people who will also be experiencing menopause - those women who identify as men, take testosterone and have hysterectomies.

They will be menopausal even if they are still only very young.

Perhaps menopause literature should separate these out into two groups, though?
