I'm a member of Facebook group 'Saalt Cup Academy'. It's mainly a US based group but Saalt do sell products in the UK.
Twice today there have been posts made by other members about (lack of) inclusive language... there are non-binary and trans men in the group who have periods. Essentially wanting people to stop saying things like 'hey ladies' when writing posts. ( Examples instead of women/ladies: Bleeders, menstruators, uterus owners, friends, all, everyone, people with periods. Instead of “Feminine hygiene” or “women’s health”
Say, “menstrual products,” “menstrual hygiene,” “period products,” or “reproductive health”.)
The threads have got quite heated. I made my point with others and of course we were labelled transphobic, TERFs, accused of
'Violent erasure of trans' etc.
Attached is the company's response (not admin/mods) to the latest post.. I'm struggling to decide what I think about their response and want to hear your views.
I appreciate they aren't enforcing women to change their language but I'm interpreting it as they will not acknowledge themselves that it's women who have periods? Or am I reading to much into this and have they said the right thing to keep everyone 'happy'?
