A sign from The Times UK.
Government advice on free sanitary products in schools repeatedly referred to “students who menstruate” rather than to “girls”. A document on the Department for Education (DfE) website detailed how providing menstrual products to girls did not disadvantage anyone under the Equality Act. Its wording angered women’s campaigners, however, who have warned of the dangers of alienating women and girls by using more inclusive gender-neutral language. The seven-page 2020 memo told of “students who menstruate”, “young people menstruating” and “learners who menstruate”. There was one mention of “girls” and one of “women”, both in the footnotes, and two of “female”.
The Times brought this seven page 2020 memo to the attention of “education chiefs.” And according to a Department for Education spokesman: “The wording is being amended and we are urgently reviewing all of our pages to that effect.”
Beware of the cancelling of WOMEN. Gender Activists are sneaky that way.
Stay alert.
Is this the world we want to live in?
