Anyone else quietly seething about the current R4 series on Menopause?

Apparently it's sooo boring to have a bog-standard programme about menopause and how it affects 50% of the population, so today they're looking at that neglected OTHER 50% of the population (eg men) and examining the 'Menopause'. Hmm There are not enough eyerolls. This simply has no scientific base.

I think I overheard some of this in passing. Didn't someone keep referring to menopause as "transitioning"? Something about the word choice seemed calculated to create an equivalency between menopause and gender transition. Just say menopause!

Transitioning from what to what, I wonder? I'm still me.

Although I suppose we did used to refer to it surreptitiously as "the change", in ye olden days before menopause became all the rage 😄

Mother to crone, isn't it?
