Wales.has form for this kind of bobbins. Iirc there was similar about "people who bleed all over Wales" which was quite bizarre.

The "Bloody Brilliant" site from NHS Wales is what I am thinking. There was quite the push back and a statement was issued.

Bloody hell! Even in their statement they manage to prioritise the male of the species at one point.

"The campaign is already inspiring young people both boys and girls across the country with its honest, straight-talking messages, which focuses on normalising periods and period health."

Absolutely no reason for that not to have read "both girls and boys". I know it's a minor point but would it have killed them to put girls first in a piece where they are apologising for using 'people who bleed' rather than 'young women and girls'?

Is it just me who sees the word 'authentic' bunged in and knows that's it, abandon all sense and sanity here?

What on earth does that word even mean? It's on a par with skibbidi toilet.

‘People who bleed’ always made me think ‘who doesn’t bleed? Zombies?’

What all over Wales? I suppose it runs down and collects in the valleys. Although it would be a bugger having to get the stains out of all the sheep.

Yet if you look at their prostate medical advice they are clear which sex they are targeting ….
