Trying to use a famous person for woke points and publicity much, you bunch of sell-out?

Fuck off, Clue.

@eurochick

I'd like to comment on this but I have no idea how to locate it on twatter. I can't see it on either JK or clue's feed.
I think the tweet is from several months ago.

How are people so hard of thinking? Males and females can be firefighters and neutral wording breaks down stereotypes. Males and females do not have periods.

AryaStarkWolf · 04/02/2021 10:43

Why is it always only women's products and services being changed and targeted!??? Has there been even one single change to Men's health information or male products?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 04/02/2021 10:44

Not that I've seen, Arya

PotholeParadies · 04/02/2021 10:44

Found it. It was from 7th June 2020.

I think this might be from last year. I wrote to them at the time, and they didn't take my concerns on board at all so I deleted the app.

The argument that they are just changing 'biased' language is hilarious.
No, it's not like using firefighter instead of fireman.
Women can be firefighters. It doesn't mean that men can suddenly menstruate.

Can anyone recommend a good period tracking app that operates in the sphere of reality?

I like Ovia. Never noticed any gratuitous wokery.

Thank you!

That's brilliant in its utter stupidity.
So they are 'moving beyond the idea that women = uterus' by erasing the old meaning of 'woman' and replacing it with a class of people called 'uterus havers'.
These people are so open minded their brains have fallen out.

Yognog · 04/02/2021 10:52

Wow for a menstruation app that is some next level ridiculousness.

BraveBananaBadge · 04/02/2021 10:56

Jesus wept...

midgedude · 04/02/2021 11:01

They are moving back into the ides that woman is something in your brain ?

I use Flo, I really like it, not sure on their politics though.

@MichelleofzeResistance

anyone else feeling very worn down right now?

Yes. Rampant gynephobia, it's exhausting, despiriting, and it makes an utter nonsense of 'there's no such thing as sex' since it's all about a group of people thoroughly enjoying repressing, insulting and devaluing females. It's like being stuck in a never ending year 7 wet lunch break with a group of really hyped up, unpleasant kids high on their own cleverness and blue smarties.

This image made me smile though Michelle!
CeaseAndDesist · 04/02/2021 11:18

I've just downloaded Flo and they seem very happy to use the word 'women' freely and without caveat.

So fucking sad when that is a cause for celebration, though.

I hope Clue goes broke. Gaslighting twats.

eurochick · 04/02/2021 11:18

Ah ok. Thanks. A bit late for me to Wade in then!

Ereshkigalangcleg · 04/02/2021 11:20

Yes I use Flo too.

colouringindoors · 04/02/2021 11:21

Fuck Off Clue!

Well that tells you everything you need to know really, doesn't it?

Thanks! Downloading now to replace my Clue app. Made me giggle that it said it was for age 12+ though. I’ve been menstruating since I was 9 😄
colouringindoors · 04/02/2021 11:24

just tweeted them @clue to let them know my feelings, and that I'm cancelling my sub.

What I dont understand is people say no to stuff all the time. " can I have this TV for free" "no" see easy. Just say no. I mean why can't they just ignore them or say no..the fact they feel the pressure means that when they decide to change language and remove the word for the entire customer base, they know what they are doing amd why. So its just dishonest to pretend it's all about inclusivity etc they know. They made an active choice. They wanted quiet life.

Nurture and please the male persons - dehumanise a female today!

Aelfrid · 04/02/2021 11:37

I saw this last year and deleted Clue, downloaded Flo. And if needs be, i'll just go back to making a note in my diary.
