Cervix-havers and birthing people: record of organisations replacing the word "woman"

[EssenceOfDittany]

Just as with the "Have you ever ... ?" thread, which has become a brilliant resource to show anyone doubting the relevance of sex, I'd like to gather a list of organisations that have replaced the word "woman" with some reference to a female body part or bodily function.

I'm discovering that a lot of my woke-leaning (but relatively critically thinking) peers are simply unaware of what's been going on, and that part of the key to getting them on board is having enough evidence that they can't dismiss it with "but that's just an isolated case". This seems a great place to crowd-source that evidence.

Apologies if there's already a thread like this — do link it here. Otherwise, please share any examples you've come across!

This is a good one, sharing as it's one I'd be happy to be replicated. It's from public health England this week re: invitation for cervical cancer screening. They include the words "women and people with a cervix", and note that transmen who are female should be called automatically by their GPs and that if they have changed their markers to "male" that they need to get in contact to arrange their smears. Over the page it has a diagram of "the female reproductive system", noting where the cervix is- so thank you to whoever is working in public health England on this!

That offers a bit of hope! That's actually inclusive, as appose to just people isn't it.

I actually feel a bit heartbroken by Macmillan, as ridiculous as that might sound. Lost a close friend to cervical cancer and we as a friendship group do a lot of fundraising, they do amazing work. But I just can't support them when they can't acknowledge that women get cervical cancer.

Does anyone know if there are any similar charities that haven't moved towards the erasure of women but do similar work?

The Coppafeel campaign for checking your boobs manages to avoid using the words girls, women or female on their entire website:

Has this been covered already? www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-56007728

"An NHS trust is to use "gender inclusive language" for its maternity services, including terms such as "chestfeeding" and "birthing parent".

Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals Trust is thought to be first in the UK to adopt the language in its internal communications and meetings."

It's devastating Plutoh
I previously thought Macmillan were such a great, important charity.

I get to have dealings some women with cervical cancer through my work. One lovely young woman has not only had all her reproductive organs removed but her entire pelvis has been trashed by the radiotherapy and her health wrecked.

It's bad enough to no longer feel like a woman (whatever feeling like a woman means) and to have your health ruined, but to not even be able to call yourself a woman?

And what do these charities that talk about women with cervixes call women after they no longer have a cervix? What should we call someone who is barely clinging onto life as a result of the treatment for the cancer they claim to want to prevent?

It's such an insult it makes me weep.
