Any update on the testicular cancer content? Has that also been "de sexed" ?

According to many of the Times’ readers’ who have checked and commented, no - men are still front and centre of the pages on testicular etc cancers.

It’s only women who are being erased and women’s health that is being put at risk.

Never would have guessed, would you?! 🙄

The Times also has a leader column about this:

Can I just ask

When it comes to breast screening- both men and women have breast tissue but only women get offered screening .. how is that inclusive worded ?

girasol · 07/06/2022 08:29

@becausetrampslikeus you are mistaken. W*n do not have breast tissue, people of all 200 genders have “chest” tissue, because it is not inclusive to refer to breasts. I don’t have the reference but apparently NHS guidance exists which advises that “chest pain” may be the result of mastitis.
I’m not sure how the NHS will work out who to invite for a chest screening (sorry, thoracogram, given that the use of the term “mammogram” would be literal violence against those not in possession of mammary glands….?)

Thanks @MrsOvertonsWindow I’d not seen that, what a great article. I will plagiarise it for another missive to my MP.

Thought I'd have a look on the NHS to see what it says.

Ovarian Cancer www.nhs.uk/conditions/ovarian-cancer/

''Anyone with ovaries can get ovarian cancer, but it mostly affects those over 50.''

Main Causes of Ovarian Cancer: ''Anyone with ovaries can get ovarian cancer. This includes women, trans men, non-binary people and intersex people with ovaries. You cannot get ovarian cancer if you've had surgery to remove your ovaries.''

Womb Cancer www.nhs.uk/conditions/womb-cancer/

Main Causes of Womb Cancer: ''Anyone with a womb can get womb cancer. This includes women, trans men, non-binary people and intersex people with a womb.
You cannot get womb cancer if you've had surgery to remove your womb (hysterectomy).''

Testicular Cancer www.nhs.uk/conditions/testicular-cancer/

First sentence: ''Cancer of the testicle is 1 of the less common cancers, and tends to mostly affect men between 15 and 49 years of age.''

Further down: ''Testicular cancer is a relatively rare type of cancer, accounting for just 1% of all cancers that occur in men. Around 2,300 men are diagnosed with testicular cancer each year in the UK.'' etc. Numerous uses of 'men' throughout.

Prostate Cancer www.nhs.uk/conditions/prostate-cancer/

Numerous mentions of 'men' throughout.

Aside from women being erased, there's also no mention of risks for biological, pre-surgery men transitioning to women under the men's category - and presumably all biological men transitioning to women don't have their prostate removed either so they are all still at risk. Or of non-binary or intersex who could also have prostates / testicles, it's all just lumped under ovaries and wombs?

The NHS, the CPS, the Civil Service are all captured by these evidently dangerous trans activists with this useless government standing by watching.
Meanwhile the fury of millions of women rises as we watch our very identity being erased with parents equally furious as they realise just what toxic rubbish is being taught to their children in schools.

I'm sure they're pushing for "cis women" as we speak.
