"Cysters took 'women' out of it's name to become more inclusive to people suffering from gynecological illness with different gender identities"

Dont know whether to laugh or cry. If even those practicing medicine are prepared to perpetuate the lie that a male body can become a female one, and that a male body now miraculously needs gynecological services.

Sometimes I think the DM and others scan this forum to get news stories.

So they have got in touch with the founder of this charity to get her reaction to the response to their rebranding ...

2 ... Following the announcement, Ms Heera took to her Twitter page to state: 'We've rebranded.

'It's always a scary thought to rebrand but after much consideration, conversations with other trans and non binary individuals we decided to take out the word 'women' working towards creating an equal safe space for all.'

She added: 'Good night everyone but not the transphobes that keep messaging me cause of the @cystersgroup name change. Go to sleep and get over it. It's happening. We're inclusive. People matter. Equality matters.' ... "

Equality matters for everyone except women!

The battlecry of the 2020's apparently.

I would think that this charity would be for people with cysts. Cysts can appear on any body part, like a pimple or a wart or a boil. If anything, wouldn't they want to CURE cysts? If so, the charity should be called Decysters.

This charity focuses on women's gynaecological cancers and has no hesitation in centring women in their language and work.
For anyone looking to donate to a charity that is not intent on erasing women - it's a good one:
