Guardian article about periods does not mention girls or women ONCE

[BobLobla]

….until they quote doctors who start using female pronouns. Look at how the guardian bits of the article are written. Ffs! https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/aug/31/teenagers-period-pain-menstruation-chronic-pain-adults-research-study

Ah well yes there is that!

You can tell I'm still angry about it all 😉

Breathe.....

There are some cases of XO/XY mosaic resulting in a male but it's very very rare. As far as classic XO some doctors consider it intersex and not a "true woman"

At least the Department of Heath and Social Care didn't fall into the people trap. “All women and girls* *deserve to be listened to and treated with respect. It should never be the case that period pains, which can be severe, are dismissed and women told to ‘just put up with it’." Is that Wes Streeting having an effect?

Back in the day, the G used to explain/justify their style guide regularly, on grounds of logic, fairness, etc. But I'd like to see anyone claim that talking about 'men' when the topic is prostate cancer, and 'people' when the topic is breast cancer, or maternity, etc, is fair and equitable.

And yeah, I know they'd come out with some shit about men can get breast cancer too. But that's just a fig-leaf.

Also, if I'm getting this right, a 'queer woman' could be heterosexual, no? So not a lesbian.

ETA: typo.

It's misogyny re-packaged as progress. Like replacing actress with actor.

And we know what leads to, girls and boys, don't we?
