Is language changing back?

I was interested to read this article in the Guardian today.
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/sep/14/millions-of-women-in-uk-face-severe-period-pain-but-symptoms-dismissed-survey-finds

Short summary: it's about women and girls experiencing pain and other debilitating symptoms, but not seeking help, or getting effective help.

I read it twice and could only see women being talked about, not people who menstruate, or people with periods.

I think this is helpful and wonder if it is an indication of language starting to be clearer?

I wonder if the Guardian has changed its style guide? I found it interesting to think about in relation to the reaction to JK Rowling's comments about women and menstruation online some years back

i guess my answer to that would be either "well, what do you think? given what i'm booked in for" or "male" depending on my mood

I was asked when going in for a mammogram if I was a birthing person. I looked at the mammographer and said "isn't that how being female works".
