Scotland edges one step closer to erasing women

[Blimeyherewegoagain]

Link to news report here

Leaflet explaining puberty have the words “men and boys” for males , and “those with ovaries and a womb” or “half the population” for females. No mention of girls and women.

What a dangerous place for women Scotland has become.

How is this allowed? I don’t understand how they are getting away with it.

Meanwhile....
🤬

“We’ve worked with the Scottish Government to ensure we’re as inclusive as possible”.

jesus wept.

Is this the online version of the leaflet?

If you don't know what a period is (to the extent you need to read a website that explains it) perhaps you may also not know what a womb and ovaries are and whether you have them?

Yes looks like it .

”It’s not just women who have periods” is stated at the bottom of the article.

I can’t believe I used to think Nicola Sturgeon was an example of strong female leadership.

And I am baffled as to how anyone can think it’s okay to talk about men and boys, but not women and girls.

Ugghh. Just never ending dehumanising idiocy. How did we get here? 😔

Absolutely!

Fucking arseholes. I am so annoyed she's still FM. She really needs to piss off.

This is the most blatant yet I have seen of this trend to create a world with one sex (men and boys) and then a fuzzy group of anyone who likes to be in it, perhaps to be called non-men or non-boys in the future.

This is what first made me realise that the trans movement is supported by quite misogynistic men but also by quite misogynistic women.

Girls are mentioned in the general puberty section, and girls and women are mentioned on the boys page, but only in relation to getting us pregnant…

Fuck me - reading that made my brain hurt! So many flashing images - is it a school project?

My comment was for the online version of the leaflet. I'd love to go full TRA and say I've read it so you don't have to, but honestly you really should so you can bear witness to how juvenile the whole thing is.

Exactly.

The what-are-periods section begins:
A period is what happens every month to those of us that have both our ovaries and a womb.

The section about the voice starting to break begins:

Getting a deep, manly voice is just another one of the changes that boys go through as they grow into men.

Welcome to patriarchy!

Yes, thankfully if you search "puberty" an article on "Puberty FAQs: Boys" and "Puberty FAQs: Girls" are the first things to come up, and are biology-based.
(Also articles about things that "guys" and "girls" might be reluctant to see the doctor about, which do refer to appropriate anatomy.

Weird that the female puberty article (or any mention of females/ women/ girls) isn't part of the "Periods landing page" though.

I'm convinced they're just trolling us now.

It should have been proof read, we have a meonpause in there. I know autocorrect is a bastard but still.

fucking shitting fucking arsecuck fucking shitbag fucks

Just what i said to dh

just after i swore a bit, made vague threats and comments about the parentage of the fuckwits involved

hagiography said it better

As usual, the one for males says men and boys. I’m so fed up with the way it’s always only women that are subjected to this crap.

Bloody hell, that young.scot website should come with a strobe light warning.

So ridiculous, this whole thing. I'm tempted to say, do you know what - fuck'em. Fuck'em all. Let them have a country with no women or girls and see how well they get on. Let them tie themselves in knots trying to justify how pregnancy and birth is inherently transphobic and offensive to them.
