“Women and birthing people. “

[Riapia]

Who said that?
A doula on the PM Programme on BBC R4 tonight between 5.40 and 5.45.

What a comeback. Will be burnt from that for weeks.

Why do you care if they acknowledge that people like you (women) also give birth? Why does it matter to you what another birthing parents call themselves?

This is my favourite post so far 😁

As I said before because there is a lot of literature out there to say men also go through the menopause.
Maybe you should listen more but somehow I think you'll choose your path of fingers in your ears, lalalalalalala

Male menopause” is commonly used as a title because it affects men as they age, and has similar symptoms to the female menopause. But is it the same?
In truth, not quite – the term is something of a misleading tagline – while there is a very real change which happens to some men at a certain point in their life, the name itself encompasses a lot of different conditions.

AboutMale menopause refers to a variety of symptoms caused by low levels of testosterone — the male sex hormone vital to maintaining sexual and reproductive health. Around half of men over the age of 50 have low levels of testosterone in their bloodstream. We offer a wide range of treatments that can help.

"Experts told Metro that the female menopause and the male menopause, also known as ‘andropause’, cannot be compared"

Though, weirdly, none that suggests they have gone through menarche.

You can’t stop something you never started.

It’s a misuse of terminology, as anyone sensible knows.

The literature says its not real...

I do realise that this is a bit mean as it's exposing what we're all discovering. That so many medics appear to be unusually captured by incoherent and inaccurate belief systems. And once they promote one lie - that men can give birth - it seems to encourage a range of other inaccurate beliefs and demands.
Mangling language, trying to eradicate accurate sex based language of women in of all places maternity care, policies that aim to place male sex offenders on women's wards and so on.

So, as these links demonstrate, some NHS trusts buy into the concept of male menopause despite the NHS saying it doesn't exist.

But that's what happens once the medical profession adopt a position of pushing lies and untruths 🙄A shame as it makes them look foolish.

@Mackmacking
You are just showing yourself up with all the insults.
I'd report if I cared

Hatred?! Why is it that women saying no to men is always classed as hate? It’s really pathetic and lazy. You may not care, but many women do. I’m sure you do care when it comes to what transmen want to be called, right? So why not care for what women want to be called? Why the double standard?
