Cisgender women (and other people who menstruate) - The Pool

[Lottapianos]

I am so fucking done with The Pool. Their articles have been getting more and more ridiculous recently but today we have this little gem

'.....after 15 years of talking to other cisgender women (and other people who menstruate) about their periods, I realise it’s all very normal'

Seriously, how do people come out with this utter nonsense? Do the writers on The Pool have absolutely no critical thinking skills anymore? Who do they think their target audience is, and are they determined to alienate them even further?

So sick of it

Identifies as Superwoman. Menstruates

It’s exclusive cos we are not cis gender women or trans woman

Where’s just women

Do join me in the comments underneath the Pool's Facebook post to speak some common sense. I'm currently getting a lot of "so what problem do you have with inclusive language?" type responses....

will do

I've been reading articles recently about peri-menopause. I have found it very irritating that the newer articles refer to cis women.

According to "trans" ideology gender is different to sex. Therefore one's gender is irrelevant to the menopause. It's sex, use the word female if you feel the word "women" no longer describes those who menstruation.

On my way!

The users on 'the pool' facebook post, have made it very clear they are intersectional.

They are not standing for the transphobic GC angle.

The lack of logic shown by the GC advocates in an attempt to exclude marginalized people from the intent of the article simply comes across as monumentally petty, childish, and insulting to other commentators.

Nan
Try and get a few more adjectives in there my love. There aren't quite enough to make it nonsensical hyperbole

Lol transplants

Nanweat doing a frothing. Haha

Nanweat - so who are these people who are not women who menstruate. Pray tell?

BiologyIsReal
Trans men or non-binary trans...... simple.

As the feminists on 'the pool' are clearly pointing out.

The same class of human being menstruates after the advent of the gender religion as it did before the advent of the gender religion. I wonder what class of human being that could be?

Are men's magazines being subjected to this kind of censorship?

nan

Oh.... women. With a uterus. Got it.

Wasn't the Pool set up by Lauren Laverne and others? I can't imagine her having any time for "people who menstruate" type nonsense.

... or person-identifying elephant shrews

Naw upstart. The wokies would never try to pull this sort of stuff on men

They would get told to take a hike

Policing of women nan that’s what is happening

Being forced to tell lies and conform with bilge talk

The lack of logic shown by the GC advocates in an attempt to exclude marginalized people from the intent of the article simply comes across as monumentally petty, childish, and insulting to other commentators.

Logic, you say?

Can humans change sex?

I'm close to unfollowing too.

So many articles recently I've closed when I've hit the "word" cisgender.

I love Lauren Laverne, I really do, but I can definitely see her in the ‘feminist as long as it doesn’t actually upset anyone’ mould.

nanweat - does the rest of the article bother you? Where the writer repeatedly refers to people who menstruate as women? A little exclusionary wouldn’t you say?

I saw this on FB.

Also Done with the pool. They seem very confused. Sometimes women is used normally with no qualifier, other times it’s “cisgender women” or people who menstruate. What are they doing? Do they even know?

Ugh someone very woke on my facebook made a post addressed to 'menstruators' the other day.

Of course, she/they is non-binary, not like us boring idiots identifying into our oppression 🙄

Don't forget Lauren Laverne is in with Caitlin Moran and Sali Hughes. And sali Hughes is friends with Juno Dawson. Etc etc.

Though I'm not sure LL is necessarily involved with editing and articles day to day.
