I don’t understand why it has to be bought up. Biological women shouldn’t need attention to be brought to their menstruation. Post menopausal women do not menstruate. They are women. Not ex-menstruators.

> I don’t understand why it has to be bought up. It was literally a campaign about menstrual hygiene and making menstrual products available to people who need them. Do you not understand: (1) Why the campaign was needed, or (2) Why in the course of conducting the campaign it was necessary to make some reference to the people whose needs the campaign sought to address, or (3) Why the campaign chose to use a term that accurately identified the group it sought to serve without denying the gender identity of any of them? If it is the last, you should understand that when one is having a campaign about awareness of and access to menstrual products, an important focus is likely to be transmen [0]. As such, identifying the target beneficiaries as “women” or “women and girls” is counterproductive. > Post menopausal women do not menstruate. They are women. Not ex-menstruators. Once again, no one (except the complainer) used the term “menstruator” anywhere in this scenario.

  Yea. I don’t understand. Having said that, I feel your responses are too aggressive for me to hold an objective discussion. Take care.

  Ok. Now I see what you meant. I am late to this as I am catching up at the end of the year. Apologies. I didn’t know the original article was about Covid and menstruation hygiene. I hope you will accept my apologies for dismissing you. Altho’ I still do think you were a little condescending but that’s ok. You were trying to communicate something I missed. Thanks. I will check out the links.
